How Time Flies

It seems like just a while ago, I started this blog for friends and family to read about all the happenings of our brand new baby girl and to share pictures of how she's grown.

Today, I'm telling funny stories about all the things she says and does, along with her baby brother. It just doesn't seem like it has been 3 1/2 years!

Today, we were sitting at lunch, the kids were eating and I was watching. Callie says to me, "Mommy, are you happy?"

Now you may wonder where she got a question like this, so let me explain. When she gets in trouble I tell her, "Mommy loves you very much, but I'm not very happy with you right now." So as a way of gauging her behavior on any given day at any given time, she asks me this question.

So I reply, "Yes, Callie, I'm happy."

She says, "You're happy to me and Gabe?" (Yes, this is her quote, she says "to" instead of "with")

I respond, "Yes, you've behaved well so far today."

She smiles at me and says, "Mommy, I like it when you smile. You have a sweet smile!"

I like smiling even more now! And I anticipate on smiling for many years to come!

God bless you and yours today!

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
