A Little Perspective


A few things out of Taylee's mouth lately:
Tay: "Mom, do you know why I love Grandma Nana the very best?"
Mom: "No, why is that?" (I am thinking - because she buys you clothes and toys, gives you doughnuts, and candy, etc.)
Tay: "Because she will always play Barbies with me, when I ask her to."
On another day:
Tay: "Mom, where does Jesus live?
Mom: "He lives up in Heaven with Heavenly Father.
Tay: "And, with the angels?"
Mom: "Yes, there are angels in heaven too."
Tay: "But, I think we live in Heaven, because I see angels sometimes. And, when we pray to Jesus and Heavenly Father they hear us. If Heaven is very far away, the angels and Jesus wouldn't be able to hear us."
Mom: "You just might be right, Sweetie."
Oh, the simple, sweet, workings of a child's mind. I bet there was once a time when I could see the angels too. I guess I should play Barbies a little more, huh? That one makes me wanna cry.

She is a little sweet heart. I think that these children are little angels here for us.

Oh, how sweet. Kids sure know how to bring the spirit into our lives. Having children makes a realize what it means to be as a little children, humble, meek, full of love, long suffering, patient..... That is so precious. You have two beautiful angel kids.

So sweet. Don't worry too much about the barbies. That is what Grandmas are for! The fact that she notices all these things is proof that you are doing so many things right! Way to be a great mom.

Taylee wouldn't know all the things she knows without a loving mother and father helping her along the way. You and Jake are doing a great job parenting. Taylee, what a choice spirit given to our family. A blessing from above.

You sure did a good job on the picture of her and the flowers.

So funny that you remembered about the peaches. Some things never change. We just found out we are expecting again. I'm 11 weeks and all I eat is peaches. I totally forgot that is what I ate with Ethan. Your kids are so sweet. What it would be like to play with barbies again?! Congrats on another boy. Have you kept in touch with Jamie at all? I am glad that we are back in touch. It will be fun to follow your blog and see what you guys are up to.

First - I a not going to send you anything homemade unless you do it too little missy. You are trying to get freebies and you just won't! I will not have it, I just won't I say. JK! I will send you something, but I think you should send me something too because I want you do and you love me bacause I am your dear sister and you love me again. Plus, I am your dear sister and you love me and I am dear - like a sister to you. Almost like a sister to you somethings and you love me dearly like a dear sister. So you have to send me something! Plus I also want to say secondly that Taylee is the most precious ever. I love the comment about the angels. Kids seem to know a lot more than us sometimes huh.
