Mother's Day Reflection...


Today, I am so grateful to be called "Mom" by this little girl...

and this little boy... 
(school portrait by Leonard's)


They are two very different people.  
She likes flowers.  He likes trucks.
She could color for hours.  He jumps from one activity to the next as fast as a gnat.
She is all girl.  He is all boy.
She's a Daddy's girl.  He's a Momma's boy.
She kisses her brother.  He hits his sister.
She loves macaroni and cheese.  He hates macaroni and cheese.

But, they are both MINE!! 
Both call me "Mom".
I am truly honored by this title because this girl and this boy are the two most amazing little people on this Earth!

Thank you, God, for sending them to me!

Gracism

So, we are watching House Hunters this evening.  This episode featured a gay couple searching for a new home in Los Angeles, CA.  Grace asked me "Do those boys have wives?"  I said "No, they don't."  She asks "Because they don't want to be bossed around?"  Yep, that's it!  They don't want to be bossed around!!  What a funny, funny kid!!!


One more Gracism, from a few days ago...
This conversation occurred as we were walking out the door to go to school.
Me:  "Grace, do you have your gippy?"
Grace:  "Yep, I have everything I need.  I have junk in my trunk!"
