Out of the Mouths of Babes

L: "So, what are you guys going to do with Grammie today?"
Elijah: "Throw her on the roof."
L: "What?"
Elijah: "Yay. And we need to throw Grampa up that big, big tree so he can watch for the bad cats."

Eric: "Haven, did you have a fun time at your birthday party?"
H: "NO!....I DID! I did! I DID!"

L: "Haven, did you have a fun time at your birthday party?"

Abigail Leanne

If you are not birth-storied out, read the incredible birth story of my new niece over here. The background of my story, God's goodness in providing me with a doctor who would have delivered a breech baby, will make you appreciate Sweet Abbie's delivery all the more.

My three sisters and I are working hard. Sister #3 is due June 12th. I anticipate another tale of God's goodness!
