"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Grace thinks this is fun...

Not a lot to report, just some cute things Grace has been up to. She has a fascination with her ears. She loves to put her fingers in her ears (my guess is she likes to hear the difference because she'll put them in, take them out, put them in etc.) After her bath we clean out her ears with those safety swabs, and then I let her play with it a little. This is what she does with it. She thinks it is hilarious!

She also loves the 3 bottom stairs. She will put her babies on them, lay on them, stash things on them. By the end of the day the linoleum floor in the entrance is covered in toys, blankets, dolls, and magnets. It is a habit I need to break her of so I don't fall one day! That could be dangerous!
And, a recent occurrence, another of our fish has died! As I write this Grant is getting rid of him. Does anyone have any advice on keeping fish? It seems like after we change their water, that is when they die. Not when the tank is filthy or we haven't fed them for 2 days, nope, just when they get clean water. Please help!

Grace's favorite thing to do







This is Grace's favorite pastime, climbing the stairs. She does it all by herself! If we leave the gate open, she goes straight for the stairs!
