Noah had a conversation with Rob yesterday regarding his birthday wishes for any presents he may receive.

His first request is for a microscope that 'can see the little holes in leaves." Just a little history here...Noah received a really, really cool microscope for Christmas. It can see the little itty bitty bugs in plant water. Apparently, that is not powerful enough.

Rob told him that, that might be a little bit too expensive at this point in time and asked him if he had a second request.

Without thinking about it, Noah replied, "I would like bricks."

Huh???

He explained that he wanted bricks so he could build Mam (that is my mom) an underground house in our backyard.

Honestly? I cannot even begin to tell you what a wise old soul Noah is. He is always thinking such deep thoughts.

Jacob and Gabrielle are doing well - in case you were wondering. They don't say as many cute things as Noah. They are doing well in school and are having fun with their friends, etc. Sorry, kids. You need to start coming up with some really great one liners...
