hmmm...

So we're walking through the christmas section at Menards... the one with all the hideous blow-up santa's mixed with the glow in the dark nativity scenes. As we pass a neon, illuminated baby Jesus with Joseph hovering over the manger, Sammi quickly bows her head, mumbles 3 words, and says 'Amen'. I burst out laughing, and see that Joseph's hands are folded. Yup, my baby is all growed up, but now we need to get started with the theology lessons... :)

Tender hearts

This dog met a pickup going 35 mph last week. I sat by his side, and when the girls wanted to say goodnight to their precious "Dzack", I was hesitant, fearful that in his pain and delerium he would react badly. So I explained to the girls that Jack was sick, and he wasn't feeling well so they could say goodnight, but they weren't allowed to touch him. Abruptly, they ran out of the room, and returned two minutes later with their blankets and soothers. They covered him with their blankets, and lay the soothers beside his mouth, and Emma said 'Dzack okay now'. Now that's sympathy!
