Thornton Mom

John Derek came running in the house, "Mom, you have to come look at this . . .  and you probably want a container!"  I was unimpressed.  Trying to get dinner on and waighted down with the stress of the day.  When I didn't jump up and run he said, "It's a Turtle!"  Then I jumped and ran!! I love turtles.  I think it has to do with the turtles my Grandfather would bring back from his visits to Tennessee.  I think it was so sweet that my John Derek knew my feelings and wanted to share with me something he knew would make me happy.  We all had fun holding and playing with the turtle.  Even Michael was mesmorized.  It was a nice break to a busy day.  I emailed Derek the above picture.  He said that the best part was knowing how I was feeling right then and knowing how excited I was.  I love that he knows me so well too.
