I know . . .

We went to Tupelo for a very active week-end! Along with all the hyper-activity from Halloween and treat-or-treating, we also witnessed the baptism of Henson #3, Reed. Here are a few bits of wisdom with which I came home:

1. . . . it is impossible to get three kids 4 and under to look in the same direction at the same time for a photo opt.

2. . . . the Henson boys all have large heads! It is already hard to find a hat to fit William's head, you need only look at Wes to see he has some growing to do to fit to his, and Reed is following right along. I have heard the head size referred to as Henson Head. No matter. They are beautiful!

3. . . . all things Mississippi State reign in the Henson house (with a Florida gator thrown in here and there), even at Halloween. #1 still holds true.

4. . . . great grandaddies really are great.

5. . . . we always take advantage of a family photo opt. Ahh, #1 is not true this time.

6. . . . boys love their vehicles at any age.

7. . . . the innocence of Halloween can bring back fond memories as we get older.

8. . . . grandmothers will do anything, for the most part, that grandsons want them to do.

9. . . . parents who see to the spiritual realm of their child's life are giving the truest kind of love.

10. . . . Lance and I are blessed to have such a wonderful family. Yep, #1 still holds true.

11. . . . it doesn't get better than this. Oh, and #1 again holds true.

12. . . . the fact that great grandparents are able to attend family events is special.

13. . . . one of the grandmothers can sew beautifully (and it is not I).

14. . . . when you are little, participating in your brother's baptism is not a big deal, especially when you can bury your brother under pillows. Heck, they won't even look at the camera!! Forget #1.
