Sweet Proof

For all the people that have ever said one of the following statements:

"All girls! Poor Mike..."
"I bet Mike would love a boy!"
"When are you going to try for a boy?"

Mike is 100% smitten with his daughters and the following pictures will prove that he does not need a boy to be happy!"

And by the way, if God tells us that we are ready to add to our family...rest firmly that we will be "trying" for a child, not a boy!"





PS - I want a new camera!!! Maybe 10 sub jobs later I can buy one...

Haven't Evaluated This Comment

Right now, Maisie and Daphne are playing in a "tent" I made them in the living room. I moved two pieces of furniture around and attached the "roof" ie the plastic My Little Pony tablecloth... Who knew that's all it took to give me a break to do my lunch dishes and a quick post!

Actually it was never my intention to post today, with the way my home looks, I could use all my spare moments in the next month and still not be quite caught up...BUT when your child says something like what I am about to quote, one just has to share!

Like I said, I haven't evaluated this comment completely and it could be broken down and used as a teaching moment. For now though, let us just laugh at it's innocent ironic nature.

With complete pleasure with their new "game" complete with ponies, dolls and complete enthusiasm...Daphne says to me:

"Hey, Mom...we're playing that we're homeless...except we have money!"

All I can think is that she views homelessness as sort of an adventure like camping, but she knows we all talk about it with sadness in our voices and occasionally give money and food to the cause. So, here leaves her and Maisie pretending to be without a home, but still capable of buying all their wants!

Oh MY!!!
