on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

Congrats on all the great things going on.
And I did NOT bust out laughing when I read about Ryan and the screen door fiasco. That is HILARIOUS...I mean, if that happened, it would have been sooooooo funny. ;D
Aww...I totally understand about "glimpses in the future". Paige looked beautiful! Sounds like you a wonderful hubby and very sweet kids who did such nice things for you on Mother's Day!

I would have laughed too at someone walking through a screen door. I mean "someone" because anyone walking through a screen door is funny.
AWWW Sofia is so adorable
Oh Jada! She is HILARIOUS!
Love the picnic. Adorable!
Ice cream. Mmmm...
So, did Ryan say anything about walking through the screen on the door to whoever he was talking to? LOL
I bet all the kids loved having a dad on their field trip. So fun!
Wow! Congrats to Paige on making honors in all those classes!
