bits n pieces

This morning

Josiah was reading Go Dogs Go.

He excitedly ran through the house exclaiming

"I learned to read! I was reading Go Dogs Go all by myself!"

We all congratulated him

and Jeremiah followed him into the playroom to listen

while he repeated those familiar words.

Jeremiah was so proud of his bub's new 'skill'.

"You are reading!

Oh, Josiah I love you!"

Thanks to just a couple minutes instruction from her brother-in-law

Lily now knows her hands and her elbows

and she has delighted in telling me about them all day long.

Such a smart little girl!

That smart little girl has also been a bit (and I'm being kind!)

of a stinker this week!

I told her I expect a new tooth soon

~

I heard a new song on the radio the other day

and it has stuck with me.

I think I'll make it my prayer for my 41st year.

Lord

empty me

of me

so I can be filled with You.
