Rebecca and the kids on the 5 o'clock news

http://www.kens5.com/news/health/stories/KENS20090610-ReachOutRead.69710570.html

The story was done at our continuity clinic and it turned out great! The Pediatrician sent me this email after the filming this morning:

"Dear Aaron: Your wife is amazing! Please give her a BIG THANK YOU for bringing the children. As expected, they were incredible. You are very blessed....Thank you for letting us borrow your children. They are so beautiful and smart. Even the baby got in the act. Rebecca was reading a story and the baby was totally into the book!"

I have to agree, I am so blessed to have such a wonderful wife and children. They are such a joy.

Sam (to Jacob, after we were encouraging him to thank Sam for retrieving a tennis ball for him): "Oh, come on. You're not shy. You know you love me."
Jacob: "Daddy, I'm going to pick out my undershirts, I'm going to pick out my underwear, and I'm definitely going to pick out my shoes!"
Sam: "But Mom, I'm wakey!" (later) "I'm getting sick. Sick of going to bed."

Sam (to Jacob): "You look like a spider web!" (huh?)

Jacob: "Dad, I'm so glad I live with a family like you."
Sam: "There's a bee on my window!" Mom: "Is it a bee or a fly?" Jacob: "It's a fly. It's ok; flies don't sting, they tickle."
Jacob (pointing to the globe): "This is the planet where we live. All that blue stuff is water- water where God lives. He has a boat."
Jacob: "I just knew I wanted a mom!"
Sam: "I just want you to pick a boy book---like Sleeping Beauty."' (He likes the dragon at the end)
Jacob during a primary activity: "This game is not very organized."
Sam (very assertively): Listen to my constructions {instructions} I WANT FOOD !!"
Jacob (very assertively): "Dad we are gonna make a BIG MESS in here."
Jacob: "Dad, we are making a great team-like the Rescuers!" (the activity: ripping up newspaper and putting it in a pile for Jacob to collect)
Sam (pointing to everything on Aaron's plate): "I like this. I like this. I like this. I like this, too! I like food!"
Sam: "I love you when you come home for a long time Daddy," and more recently, "I love you when you come home early," and "I love you when you're home all day."
Jacob as we are walking into the hospital to have dinner with Aaron: "This is a really big tower where Daddy lives."
Jacob: "I'm hungry. My tummy's asking for some more food."
Jacob: "I need to eat something. I'm really foody."
Jacob: "Thanks mom, you're really useful."
