Quote of the week

I realize there are things said every day in our home that some of you would love to hear. I am going to try to post at least on of these each week. This week's funny conversation happened just this morning:

Susannah says"Mommy what is equal to?"
I say, "The same as."
After a few seconds of pondering she says, "Oh, sameaz just like Boaz."
It does not occur to her that makes no sense yet she just accepts it as the definition.
I was cracking up. I hope it makes you smile too.

True Love...

My Little Man shows me all the time the genuine, unconditional love of a child, and something that happened today was the perfect display of this. When it was normal nap/ quiet time in our home I invited him to stay up and do some school work. His immediate response was a big grin and the question "Is that true, do you mean it?". I said "Of course I mean it". Then we walked down the stairs hand in hand and he says "Mommy, I would love to stay up with just you. I love you." Oh, to melt a mother's heart. I know he may someday not want to hold my hand or express his joy so freely but today he did and I will greatly cherish that! I tell him all the time that no matter how big he gets he will always be my baby. He is my oldest and only boy I will cherish that special relationship as long as I live.

Day by day as I watch him grow I get a glimpse of what Mary must have felt standing at the foot of the cross watching her oldest son fulfill the will of His Father. Wow!!

What we have been up to...

Fun with cousins at the fair!

In the last month and a half since I wrote last we have been to the fair, gone camping, celebrated Zanna's 5th birthday, experienced stitches for the first time and those are just a few of the extra things. We are now halfway through our first year of kindergarten! The year is going so fast!

I will write more soon.
