Birthdays, heaven, a king, and some detox. . .

In a week where we have celebrated many birthdays, including that of baby Paul who we visited as a family, came this conversation tonight:

Bradley comes downstairs from bedtime and says, "I may have confused our son".

The conversation started as Carter asking what he was doing tomorrow. Bradley replied that "It's a holiday and you get to stay home and go to Medford with mom".

"Oh, a holiday?"

Bradley replied, "Not like Christmas holiday, but a different kind of holiday". He continued to explain that it was a holiday to remember a very special person. Bradley stated, "It's Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday tomorrow".

"Ooooh, a King?"

"Well, kind of."

"How do I get to the birthday?"

"Well, he is in heaven and so we just remember his birthday and momma doesn't have to go to work."

"How do I get to heaven?"

"Angels come down and carry you to heaven"

"Angel (cousin Shelby's new dog) is going to take me there?"

"Not, Angel, different angels."

"Oh???"

Bradley ended the conversation by promising him a trip to Target and some popcorn and that seemed to satisfy his interest in the King's birthday.

In other news my dad has made it to Puerto Rico with my mom. I talked with him today and he stated that he is tired, and going through a pretty strong diet detox, but his attitude was great.

The trip there was very tiring on both of them, but they remain in good spirits.
