Downhill Fast

Yesterday Sarabeth asked me how long it takes to go to college. We talked about various options for a few minutes, and then she declared: "I don't want to go to college. I just want to learn how to do hair and make-up. Then I can get a part-time job and have plenty of time to come home and take care of you."

Apparently I've only got about ten good years left....

Nativity Humor... Part 3

Christopher: "I want to play the wiseman who brings the gift of frankenstein."

Nativity Humor... Part 2

As I mentioned a few days ago, Sarabeth and Christopher love to "play nativity."

A new development: Sarabeth moaning and breathing heavily while portraying Mary in labor....

How does she even know about moaning and breathing heavily during labor??

Happy Birthday, Sarabeth!

My little girl is nine years old today. How can that be?
I'm so glad God gave her to me and picked me to be her mommy!

Modern Technology

Sarabeth: "Mommy, you need to give Daddy a lecture on how to work the new remote."

Better Than Santa Claus

Sarabeth to Christopher: "God is the permanent watching-over person. He's always watching you. He always knows what you're doing, whether you're awake or asleep, even what tile you're walking on in the bathroom."

Thankfulness

When Christopher was four, he went through a phase of drawing crosses on all his preschool worksheets. "Mommy, I put crosses on all the papers to celebrate Jesus dying on the cross for us, but I didn't put Jesus on the crosses 'cause he's alive."

Thank you, Jesus.
