Birds and the bees with a six year old
So the other day we were in the car talking about our newest and cutest baby cousin Atticus when Tate asked "Mom, why aren't we going to have any more brothers and sisters." I replied "Remember that medicine Dad took to kill his bone marrow so he could get new marrow and make his blood work good again. Well, that medicine made it so we can't have anymore kids. " I wish I could capture the look of profound awe and self discovery when in wonder he said "So you mean Dad has something to do with it?" He was so proud of his Dad! I said "you know how plants start out as seeds. Well, basically Dad has the seeds." THANKFULLY, I SHUT UP!!! And thankfully he didn't ask any more questions!

I'm so glad you have a blog. I've been thinking for some time that it would be great for you to have one. It's so good to see everyone doing so well. That Tess is too cute. My Emma Mae is the same way about tantrums. The picture of Tess mad is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Also, that Star Wars light saber cake was something to be really proud of. Wow. My kids would think you were the coolest. We have to rent at least one of the Star Wars movies like every weekend.
I'm going to go add you to my favorites list right now!!
Quin as far as the birds and bees talk goes I thought you handled it beautifully. You are my hero. Every time Kennedy asks a question even remotely in connection to where babies come from I have a mini heart attack. I may steel the seed thing. That seems basic enough. Thanks for sending out your blog info.
Hooray! You are officially a "blogger" now! I am so glad we can continue to keep in touch! Where are you living now? One of these days I would LOVE to see you! Your family is beautiful and I am so happy that life is good for you! I just started another semester at Weber. 3 more to go. I seriously could've been a doctor- been to school long enough! Well thanks for the blog info! Oh- FYI Meagan Peterson (Davies) blog is on my blog page. They moved from NC to Utah to, within the last year! sound similiar! Well Thanks again!
Ha! I love it! And I am so glad you have a blog--do you mind if I add a link to your blog from mine? Mine is private, so probably only our NC friends will see it. Let me know, and I will send you a link to ours.
Very impressive!! Love the blog. I think I've found the soundtrack to our next family video. Love the tunes!
I've been hoping that you would start a blog so that we could keep track of you guys! I'm glad that things are going well for you all. Miles just started Kindergarten and is loving it. He and Tate would have a marvelous time playing Star Wars together. We miss you guys and we're so glad that you're doing great!
Tate is so great and don't you love the innocence!!
Quinn - I am so glad you have a blog and so happy to hear you guys, especially Jon, are doing so well! Your kids are darling - no one takes cuter pictures than you do. I love the action shots you have and the ones with the fall leaves. We miss you guys here in NC but want to get in touch with you next time we are in Utah. Thanks for sending the link. I'll be sure to check back to see the latest updates and adventures from the Silcox family.

Quinn and Jon,
We are so happy to hear you are doing well! What miracles have occurred in your lives over the last 18 months. We have been praying for you and thinking of you and are amazed at how beautiful your children are, how healthy Jon is, and the great start to your new business. The next time we are in Utah we definitely need to get together. If you are ever in Arizona ... you'd better come see us! We have a blog too: thehorlacherfamily.blogspot.com. Our biggest news is that we are expecting twins in mid-Feb 2009. Hayden (girl) is 5 and Noah is 3. Life is wonderful! Love, Riley and Heidi (Theurer) Horlacher
