Her name means Ewe or Mother Sheep. Here are seven of her many qualities:
Ready to help
Adorable
Cute
Helpful
Agreeable
Even cuter than you can imagine

The cutest little redhead in the world is 4 now. There’s something special about that age, isn’t there? All of my children are strongly imprinted in my mind at that age. It’s like they’ll always be 4 to me.
Four-year-olds are still so small, yet self-aware and precocious.
I love it.
And I love my sweet little redhead.

sigh. Goodbye, golden arches. Hello, Wendy’s.
I avoided posting about this, but it’s only getting worse. We like McDonald’s $1 value menu, and used to stop in when we found ourselves in town at mealtime without a plan. It’s not health food, but a $1 double cheeseburger has a certain appeal and it goes a long [...]

And then she has sweet dreams…of ceiling fans?
I wish it were that easy for the rest of us.

I received the following questions from Cari, and thought that others might want to add their own advice. I didn’t ask, but assumed she had already read my old post about training babies to sleep through the night.
Q. Do you put your newborn on a feeding schedule? (I have never done this, but am [...]

This morning I was reading 1 Peter. When he quoted Isaiah, I suddenly remembered a heart stopping moment from last night:
“ All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
But the word of the LORD endures forever.”
Little Bethany was very fussy through [...]

She has plastic arms, legs and face, and a soft cloth torso, [...]

update: this drawing has ended.
Remember the Paperback Swap giveaway? We did this once before and it was a lot of fun, so I’m ready to do it again. I learned of some great books that I had never heard of when you all posted your choices, and I’ve received many of them from PBS since [...]

Today I was reading the book of James to Rachael, who is almost 4. I don’t remember what prompted the question, but she stopped me to ask if we could see God. I thought of the Catechism for Young Children: God is a spirit and has not a body as we do. I told her [...]

My husband and I had planned to spend Thanksgiving of ‘99 with my in-laws who lived 2 states away, but [...]
