Not what you would call tall

The other day Tanner was telling Trevor about all his favorite teachers. He then commented that his teacher from second grade was really tall--"Even taller than dad."

Trevor questioned him, "Taller than DAD?!" (As if that wasn't possible. Isn't it cute when a child looks up to his dad and thinks he is like superman and that nothing can beat him?)

Tanner confirmed with emphasis, "Yes! Dad is NOT what you would call tall."

Trevor thought about that for a minute and then said, "Dad IS tall! He's really smart too. He even knows 2 + 2!!!"

But after we all had a good laugh about that, I have to say that Jerel may not be physically tall, but he is tall in character and that's all I could ask for in a husband and father to my children.

p.s. All this talk about "being tall" promted us to measure everybody and update our "tall wall." It's always a lot of fun to see how much everybody has grown.

Jerel is amazingly tall in character and spirituality. Gives me someone to look up to next to Dad, of course!

Another cute quote from Trevor. Thanks.
I agree with Rinez. Jerel is definitely a man of principle, but you are a woman of principle, too, Camille. I love all of you.

What a fun thing to have written down! In ten years you will have to look at it and smile even bigger!

I love the photo of the "wall." Every family has one and then when it's time to paint....?
