"I believe in kindness. Also in mischief." Mary Oliver  85.366 I made a sandwich for your lunch, but you didn't want any part of it. Instead, you wanted an orange. And then another. Until you had eaten 6 oranges and nothing else. And when we had depleted our orange stock, you cried and sobbed and declared yourself ready for a nap.   86.366 My best girls. Every moment with the two of you is the greatest blessing.  87.366 I love to hear your giggle, so I will be the "Ticka Lion" over and over again just to hear its sweet sound.  88.366 Sisters reading a book together about new babies and big sisters.  89.366 I gave you a snack of graham crackers with peanut butter and raisins and made the mistake of not supervising the snack time, but instead did dishes. Then you walked into the kitchen asking for "More? More?" Your face, hands, hair and jammies were coated in peanut butter.   90.366 It's no wonder Foo Foo loves you best at meal time. It's the one time you are best at sharing.  91.366 You really hate bath time, so I think you get your revenge when immediately after your bath, you spit up all over yourself.

Wishing you all a very blessed Easter with your friends and family! "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." -John 3:16     
 "Grace was in all her steps. Heaven in her eye. In every gesture, dignity and love." - John Milton  78.366 You wore the gown from Mommy's family for your Baptism. Still in pristine condition even though it's been worn 15 times before you by aunts, great aunts and cousins. Your Great Aunt Laura wore it for the first time in 1955.   79.366 Aunt Kelly was your godmother and Daddy's friend Eric was the godfather. You were so good and didn't even cry. Mommy held your big sister, and during the renewal of baptismal vows, she repeated after us each time, "I do," and when Father placed his hand on Mommy's head for a blessing, she put her hand on top of his.  80.366 Baby Bucket Head is at it again, seeing "E-I-E-I-OOOOOO." And Old McDonald has a pig. Always a pig.  81.366 I think you will find your Big Sister quite entertaining. She loves to be silly. I don't think you know what to think of her antics yet.  82.366 Mommy's cooking breakfast, and you just want to be close to her, even if it means lying on the kitchen floor.  83.366 You and your books. You'll read anywhere and anything. You've memorized all of the books you have and sometimes I hear you over the monitor when you wake up reading them word for word.  84.366 You think it's hilarious to sit in your baby sister's bouncer, pretending you're a baby. |
