A few years ago I was sitting next to my Mimi at a church service and I noticed something in her bible. It was very worn. It looked like something that one of her children had made many years ago. I asked her about it and she told me that my Aunt Tammy had made it when she was 5 years old I believe. My Mimi had kept it in her bible all of these years even though Tammy is grown with children of her own now. When she told me that I decided that I was going to do that too but I knew I had to wait for the right keepsake as the girls grew up.
A few Sundays ago Brylee brought home something that I am going to keep in my bible from now on. I hope that one day, when she is grown and has kids of her own, it will still be in my bible and I hope that it will look just as worn as Mimi's did. So so special! I pray that Brylee loves the Lord with all her heart each day of her life :) And I hope to save something special from each child that I ever have....I love this!
We are slowly getting settled and getting our new routine here. It takes a while to figure out how everything is going to run at a new place haha...but we are getting there. The girls are adjusting just fine!
And this little one gets bigger each day. She is really starting to keep up with big sister--so fun to watch!

Is that a cell phone she's got?
Yes Jenna-my iPhone. She was playing her princess game.
Oh my gosh, kids know how to work those phones better than we do! We had to start making a rule that the kids only get 10 minutes of phone time for the weekend because the second we get in the car it's like, "Can we play on your phone? Can we play on your phone?" We are like, "We are going five minutes down the street. No, you can't! Daydream! Think up a game! Play I Spy!!" Ha ha
