So Grateful...

This past week I have been so grateful that I am able to be a stay at home mom for you and your sisters. Though many days are hard, there are those sweet moments that don't seem like anything "exceptional" but seem to leave lasting impressions. One moment that really tugged at my heart strings has been picking you up at the bus stop the last few days. You bounce off the bus, always first in line, count 10 steps forward and then with a BIG grin on your face run across the street and give me a big hug. Oh I can't imagine not being able to be there for that or having someone else experience that simple joy. I love being your mom!

Grandma Great

This past week your Grandma Great passed away. This is the first time that you have had to experience a death. There were lots of questions, as you tried to understand what was happening(especially at the funeral). As we talked about how we can see grandma great again in heaven, and that her body is still here but her spirit is with Jesus you seemed to be okay with everything. I was so grateful that we know that families can be together forever. As I kissed you goodnight you asked, "So mom, grandma great will be Resurrected in 3 days like Jesus?" I went on to explain we don;t know when, but all of us will be Resurrected just like Jesus. You then told me all about what you thought heaven would be like. So grateful to be able to share these moments with you.

Clubhouse

The thing that I love the most about where we have moved in watching you and your little friends play outside. Maybe it is because it reminds me of when I was little and running around looking for adventure. You have had quite the summer playing in the field behind our house. You have been the driving force in the building of the clubhouse. All of the neighbor kids love to come out and play in it with you and search for treasure. So fun to see your little imagination at work, and the best part is I think we have gone to watching almost no TV.

This is you and Lexie working on the construction of the clubhouse.

Destiny

Your prayer tonight after getting home from vacation at Wolf Creek. "...Thank you for a fun weekend. Bless I can get home safe, and Maga and Grandpa can get safe to their destinies, and Brie and Braxton and get to their destiny safe and Kennie can get to his destiny safe. And we love you very much and glad that you could get ressurected and we can all live in heaven again. Name of Jesus Christ Amen."
