McKlayne and I were driving in a "scary part" of downtown Bryan. A man with a red bandanna on his head and huge hoop earrings pulled up beside us....just staring as he's hanging out his window.
I sped up so we didn't have to be right next to each other on the street. (He was creeping me out.)
In the most excited voice, McKlayne said, "Look, Mommy, a pirate!!"

We were leaving the park last week and Asher was telling his friends goodbye. He kissed Taylor Joy on the cheek as he gave her a hug (not quite sure how Pastor Allen will feel about that one...) and, not to be left out, Beckett insisted on a kiss, also. Reluctantly, Asher gave him one. Except it was on the mouth.
As we were walking home, Asher said, "Beckett, gave me a watermelon kiss.....I can't believe it."
Me: Oh yeah...what's a watermelon kiss?
A: You know, a really juicy one.

We were sitting at the table eating breakfast.
I stretched and said, "Ohhh man, I am tired!!"
McKlayne: You not tired, Mommy. You Tirby.
(I love hearing her say "Tirby"...)
Why I blog...
I'm often tempted to fall snare to the thief, Discontentment, (at least in my heart) about the complications of raising these precious little people...or that same thief with a different name, Comparison, as I'm sometimes overly concerned about dressing as stylish or keeping my house as neat as I once did before having them. So, this blog is simply a form of celebration-as I document, remember, and process--the gloriously messy, often chaotic, exceptionally silly and undeniably full household that God has given us. Though it may not always accurately represent all of our "real" life...these are the moments I want to store away, along with the details of the redemptive work of Jesus in our family that I want recorded for my children one day.
