Bethany and I had a nice little talk last night. We laid in her bed and I asked her what she would like to talk about and her response was that she wanted to talk about "cool things."

I began with "Wouldn't it be cool if you could stay with me all day every day?"

To which she replied, "Yep!" Her turn, "Wouldn't it be cool if we had a big, big, big pool?"

"That would be very cool. Wouldn't it be cool if Mommy was finished with UCF?"

"Yes! Wouldn't it be cool if we had a house with stairs?"

"Very cool."

Then she wanted to talk about something else so I suppose I was not entertaining enough for her. But the whole thing made me think about Beth and Emily growing up and how I would like to take the time to simply sit and talk about anything that is on their minds in a nice, calming situation. I plan to make little things like this a priority so we can strengthen our relationship and so that they can know that they can talk to me about whatever they have on their minds, including big pools and houses with stairs.

I am very blessed with two daughters. They can be a challenge at times but a lot of fun too.

Here is a recent conversation between my 3 year old and I.

Me: I sure am sleepy.
B: Me too!
Me: Me three!
B: Me four!
Me: Yep, I am definitely exhausted.
B: Yep, I sure am expensive!

My husband and I were eating dinner with the girls and talking about how good they have it. I asked my six year old, who is a mjor Daddy's girl, what she will do when she has to leave her daddy one day. Her response? "But it will only be for my honeymoon and then I will be back."

Hello to the World of blogging

I thought I would give blogging a chance. I do not usually feel that I have anything interesting to write but I think I will give it a shot.
