The Abegg Love Letters

To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ; mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance. -Jude 1:1

Lessons We’ve Learned from Our Kids #11

  • Nico: "I knew that, I know everything!" Daddy: "Really? Where did you learn everything you know?" Nico: "I don't know."
  • Jeremy: But daddy, boys are never wrong!
  • Nico, while flying to Chile: “You can hold my hand daddy so you’re not scared when we take off”.
  • Nico: “I didn’t squish the bug, I was just making sure it didn’t get away!”
  • General Wisdom: When planning a trip with two little boys, imagine the number of clothes you think they will need, and then double it.
  • On Change: The town of Pichilemu, Chile (where Claudia and I worked when we first got married) seems a lot dustier than I remembered it now that we are here with two very curious boys.
  • Logic?: Even though different types of food shouldn't touch each other on your dinner plate, it's somehow acceptable (and edible) to mix tomato juice with your ice-cream.
  • Jeremy: “Why does God need our money just on Sundays and not the rest of the days?”
  • Nico: “I thought my pocket would make the caterpillar warm, not squishy!”
  • Jeremy: “If God wasn't born or made, and he's been alive from always, he must be really, really tired by now!”
