more crying

This is a totally different reason for tears. I just can't help myself. Ray and I found this site a couple years ago. It must be the sick "preacher's kid" humor in me ~ but I cry from laughing EVERY time I read it. The actual signs are kinda funny. But, it's the sarcastic comments about them that really crack me up.

tears

This video surprised me. They played it at my Dad's church recently Heartland Christian Church. My mom said that it made everyone cry. To be honest, at first I thought, "This is it?" Well... let me tell you... got me too! Let me know if it gets you.

Hot Off the Press

I am a mother-in-law.
Just another addition to the list of words that define me. And I happily accept this description. I love my beautiful daughter-in-law. I have no doubt that this is a marriage blessed by God. The ceremony was simply beautiful ~ mostly because Brad and Hilary are such a beautiful couple and their love evident in every aspect of the evening.


I am a mother of the prettiest flower girl in the world! And the little guy is pretty darling too!
When Brad was a little ring bearer in my brother's wedding quite a few years ago, I never dreamed that he would have a little sister as a flower girl in his own wedding. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful family.

Kisses

This is a big weekend for our family. Brad and Hilary are getting married tomorrow. Hope is a flower girl. It's very funny to view a wedding rehearsal from a six year olds perspective. My dad is officiating the ceremony, so as usual he makes a little joke about saving the kiss for the real thing - they don't need to practice.

So... on the way home tonight Hope tells us that she thought it was funny that Brad and Hilary did not need to practice their kiss tonight and are saving their kiss for the wedding. She said that she didn't think Hilary needed to practice. Hilary kissed her dad and she did just fine. She's not sure about Brad - he may need some practice. She did not see him kiss anybody tonight.

Van Gogh?

Micah and I got a little creative today.
I painted the stripes and he created the grass with a fork.
Really fun! Can't wait to do a set with Hope!

Toothless

The Tooth Fairy has made a lot of trips to our house this week! Three!!
One of Hope's top teeth has been out for a while and she had a wiggly bottom tooth over the holidays. But, the wiggly one was not part first of the trio to go. She had something in her mouth and Micah gave it a tug! The opposite tooth was VERY wiggly. So I gave it a gentle pull and out it came. A couple of days later the other one came out. She had a little hillbilly action goin'. I was hoping that the wiggly top tooth would come out before Brad and Hilary's wedding. Success! The last of the week's trio easily slipped out last night! You have to admit, it's an perfectly adorable (balanced) grin. I love it when thing even out :)

However, Hope is still wondering why her friend sometimes gets five dollar bills from the Tooth Fairy, when the going rate is one dollar per tooth. Don't you hate it when you just don't have change? I'm sure the Tooth Fairy suffers the same way. Hope takes no comfort in the fact that when Ray and I were kids, the going rate for teeth was a quarter per tooth.

I do recall when Brad was little, the Tooth Fairy forgot about him. Can you imagine?! She slipped a fiver under the front door with an apology note suggesting that he give the tooth to his mom. Even the Tooth Fairy makes mistakes... and apparently suffer guilt too!
