Us
- Sherwood family
- Tashkent, Uzbekistan
- We're a family of nine traveling the world one country at a time. Brandon's a diplomat and the rest of us (Ashley, Kathleen, Sophia, Edwin and Joseph, Eleanor, William, and Elizabeth) are just keeping him company.
William's Witticisms
- "Joseph, YOU commudist!" when Joseph called him a communist.
- "Please immigrate," whenever he wants to spin.
- "Hi, Sophia!" whenever he addresses Kathleen.
- "He/she's screaming," whenever anyone cries.
- "Thank you you're welcome," whenever anyone tells him 'you're welcome.'
Eleanor's Wisdom
- "When I'm grown up, my mommy name will be Ashley."
- "I'll be the marshrutka driver and you be the lady, Mommy. 'Get out of the freakin' road, lady!!!'"
- "Jesus can give me a kiss on the iPad.... We need to get him out of there."
- "Thank you, Daddy, for taking me to Canada!" while on a layover in Toronto.
- "Go pee-pee on the rock, teddy bear. Good job!"
What Joseph Said
- "Hey, look! I'm fishing for women!" while dangling a potholder from a string.
- "A grandma is a mom who is really, really, really, really, really, really old" - to his grandmother.
- "When I'm all alone I'm bored and have nothing to do except talk to strangers and hop in their cars."
- "I need to drink my milk so that I don't get crickets."
- "Fruit comes from trees. Pigs are made of bacon and ham." after Brandon tried to tell him that bacon grew on trees.
Edwin's Edicts
- "If you bring a stegosaurus to a t-rex fight, your stegosaurus is gonna get eaten."
- "When I was just a baby pumpkin my mama told me, son, always be a good baby pumpkin, don't ever play with toy guns. But I shot a green bean in Reno just to see it fall off the vine."
- "I made a HU-NORMOUS plane the other day. It was as heavy as a baby kitten."
- "I squashed that spider LIKE A BUG!!!"
- "It's okay to flush bugs. Just not ones that are as big as the planet."
Sophia's Statements
- "Why do Aztecs greet each other by touching noses?"
- "Mom, why do hobo mothers chew up food and spit it in their babies' mouths???'
- "Where DID I put that baby?!?" - while playing with Eleanor.
- "Mom, there's a lot of dying in this!" while reading history.
- "Mom, come see the coffin we made for Joseph!!!"
Kathleen's Truisms
- "Mom, we just made a new musical with Eleanor as the star. It's called 'Baby Get Your Gun.'"
- "When Ferdinand and Isabella got married, there was a Spanish baby supernova!"
- "This is like shooting a gun... only safer," while putting library books in the return slot.
- "Florida, Virginia, Tennessee... Georgia?!? That's not a state!" while looking at a US map
- "Sophia, Max is French... you know, like french toast sticks."

Aww... He's worth every bit of it and then some. What a cutie! Look at those big, beautiful eyes!! And so expressive!
So darn cute! And Happy Birthday!
He's so worth it. I love his little bald head. You guys did an awesome job.
Yeah, he's worth it! It is hard to remember, sometimes. I'd tattoo those pictures on the back of your hand, then you can look at it during all the paperwork! ;)
What a CUTIE! I love those big, round, dark eyes!
Happy Birthday!!! I know I am a day late...but with kids we are just lucky if we get to birthdays in the right month. I hope the Passport/visa makes it in time!!!
You're right! If it wasn't for that guy, you could be happily going about your business in Cairo, there wouldn't be postings about visas and passports and government bureaucracy, and I wouldn't have Lego bruises on my heels.
On the other hand...I wouldn't have had the sweet gift of having you guys around.
Dad
So super cute. Good luck with all the paperwork and even more luck with the flight....when it happens.
