and now a brief excerpt from a friday night conversation

Jace lovingly jumps up on my lap cups my head gently in his little hands, looks straight into my eyes, and says

Jace:"Mama, will you marry me?"

Me:"Oh honey, I totally would but I'm already betrothed"

Jace: ?????

Richard: "No way, Mommy is my wife!"

Jace: ?????

Me: "Don't worry honey, when your all grown up, will find you the best wife."

Jace: "Okay!"
