Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

"42"

42!
That's a number we hear VERY frequently since it's Dylan's absolute favorite number. Why? Because it's the magic number in which he gets to ride even MORE rides at amusement parks (Mall of America, Valley Fair) and slide down the water slides at our health club and water parks. But wait, it's much more than that! Anytime we ask him something that involves numbers, the magic number he shouts out is always "42!". This includes how much we need to sell our house for ($42), how big he is (42"; not quite), how much he weighs (42 lbs; more like 35 lbs), how fast we are going in the car, how fast he can go on his bike, how old mom and dad are (we wish), how old grandmas and papas are (they wish), how much our dinner costs ($42), how much we need to sell our van for, what he can buy a new super duper fast sports car for, how fast he can hit or kick a ball, how many friends he has, how much money he has in his piggy bank (he has collected much more), how much it will take to buy a new puppy, and ON and ON!!!!! It's really funny and keeps us laughing. We are wondering what the next number will be once he reaches 42"h and the novelty and excitement wears off? Honestly, we want them all to stay under 42" and 42 lbs forever!!
