Surprises

I was hit with a few surprises, today!

First, Pops was driving a motorcycle down Pearland Parkway, today! Surprise!!

Those of you that know Pops (my dad), know that there must be a mistake!! And, there is! The boys love looking around as we drive, and they find tractors, trailers, big trucks, and all other fun "boy" stuff to find. Well, today, Chap spotted a motorcycle! He was rather excited with his "I Spy" object, and yelled - MOTORCYCLE! I, then, start looking around trying to find it - and sure enough, coming upon my right is a motorcycle. The gentleman driving a motorcycle has on blue jeans and a white t-shirt - and we are now seeing the back of him as he drives past us. Whit gets excited with the new found transportation mode, and hollars... "POPS ON DA CYCLE!" The mans' attire was somewhat similar to my dads' on weekends when we visit, so Whit made that connection. I did have to tell him that I don't think he'd ever find Pops on a motorcyle!

Secondly, I have been amazed with how the appetite stimulant has been working. We started it up again Friday (after he got over his little illness), and last night - he ate, and ate, and ate! Then, the real surprise came with tonight's meal. I have put green beans in front of Whit I don't know how many times, and have NEVER gotten him to even touch one! Chap and Maggie love them, but he has never given them a second thought. Well, tonight, he downed three helpings (Whit-sized servings)!! I think I am still in shock!!



I have been reminded lately that Spring will come again soon. I love the season of new life, and new growth! And, I love that it is right around the corner!
