We told you last week of our visitors from Texas A&M. They will be leaving tomorrow and headed to Rio to help a church family there.
It's been a lot of fun having these guys around. A couple of the guys (Reece and Michael) have had the pleasure of being with me as I picked up/dropped off the kids at school. These trips allow for some alone time with Anderson as he is the last one to be dropped off and the first one to be picked up. We told this group how much Anderson loves to talk but I don't think they really understood Anderson's world until they spent 15 minutes in the car with him.
Here are some things he shared with me today just on the way to his school:
Anderson: (after seeing a sign on the road) "Dad what does ONOO spell?"
Me: "Nothing, it's not a word."
Anderson: "Yes it is."
Me: "I don't think it is."
Anderson: "Yes it is. It's like, 'Oh no.....what happened?'
Anderson: "Hey dad, yesterday I saw a guy with an oval head."
Me: "An oval head?"
Anderson: "Yes, and it was black."
Me: "An oval head? Was this a real person?"
Anderson: "Yes it was. His head looked like a balloon."
Anderson: (while bending over kicking the scuff marks off the floor with his tennis shoe.....don't ask) "Whew....my contact almost fell out."
Me: "You don't wear contacts."
Anderson: "Yes I do."
Me: "Okay."
And just think, we get these conversations at least twice a day in our alone drive time with Anderson. We really wouldn't have it any other way.

Elisa is quite as extreme as Andersonzinho, but she is pretty funny. The other day she introduced a neighbor to Jennifer by saying, "This is my mom, Mommy!" Sometimes all you can do is smile!
