We were at Walmart tonight and the cashier asked if the boys were triplets. I told her that Joseph and Brigham were twins, and Moses was their brother. She asked Mosey if he was older or younger, and he said to her, "I'm six. If I were older, I would be nine." Then he turned to me and said (this is word-for-word), "It's definitely self-evident that I'm not older because of my tone of voice and how tall I am."
Sure, Mosey, you keep using phrases like "self-evident" and you'll have people doubting that you're the younger brother, high-pitched voice and all 45 inches of you notwithstanding. :-)

About Me
- Gabrielle
- I am a Christian, a wife, mother, homeschool teacher, perfectionist, night-owl, reader, conservative, photographer, and a lot more. I have 3 boys-- 11 year old twins named Joseph and Brigham, and a 9-year-old named Moses. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005. I went from a 30-mile-a-week runner to being mostly wheelchair-bound in 2 years. In 2008 I was accepted into the HALT-MS study-- a clinical trial in which I underwent an autologous stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) in an attempt to put the disease into remission. So far, I have remained stable for more than four years! I am grateful every day for the new lease on life that God (and modern medicine and awesome doctors, but mostly God :-)) has granted to me, and the chance I have to teach and raise my boys, love my husband, and experience the joy, frustration, happiness, and heartache that life brings.
