smile

I should be proofing. NO, I should be sleeping.


Today I was driving to Costco, and Talia from the back of my van said, "I REALLY REALLY want Jesus to come to our house."

I simply said, "Why?".

"Because I never get to see him," was her sad reply.

I was a little teary, and then my wise six year old said, " We can have his spirit in our home when we choose the right."

SO true. Smmooooches on both their little heads.



Little cherub on my bed. She boycotted her binky for about 3 weeks. It has not been a good thing. She is loud.

I love how sweet and wonderful kids are. What a sweet little moment. It sure reminded me to remember just how much they truly do take in.

What a sweet picture. I love the faith of children. It is so simple, yet very profound.

My goodness what a cute kid!! She really is beautiful. I don't know how you ever stop taking pictures of this girl.

With that said, put down the camera and get back to proofing...I mean sleeping! :) I understand the delema all too well. Hope you get caught up on both.

She can boycott bikinis when she's older. Right now she's better off not relying on a pacifier.

Simone is stronger than you think. Make sure she drinks a bottle with water in it if she'll take it. That will keep her quiet and hydrated. If she wants to be noisy, get her to laugh.

But what do I know - I'm just a dude, with no kids.

A binky boycott? No fun. I was wishing for a binky lately. I mean, I can't SHOVE her thumb in her mouth, now can I?

What a sweet little conversation. Cute girl.
