The Beard

So the other night Kaitlyn and I were talking. She was brushing her fingers on my face and was asking why I didn't have a beard. I explained to her that only boys get beards. She had a really sad face and said she wanted a beard. Then she thought for a minute and asked why Marquis didn't have one. I told her of course that boys get them when they get older and that Marquis isn't old enough to grow one but that someday he would. After a little bit of time I asked Kaitlyn if she was getting older. She replied yes...and then thought for a minute and put her fingers on her cheeks and exclaimed "Mommy, I think I'm getting a beard because I'm getting older!" My silly little girl. She thinks of the funniest things sometimes. Lately, she keeps telling me that she's going to grow into a baby. Some how she thinks she can grow in whatever direction she wants...backwards or forwards! So silly!

We are all doing well. We enjoyed a great visit from Mike's mom. She was here for a few days this past week and we really loved having her here. She very kindly helped me to finish Marquis' weighted blanket. She was able to get my machine to work...I'm still marveling over that one. (Every time I have tried the bobbin part was bunching up I read the manual over and over and never could make it work for more then a few stitches.) I'm so thankful to have that done and he does seem to sleep a little bit better with it so well worth the effort!

Life here is going well. We are enjoying being with our little family and really is there anything else? So, there I'm doing a bit better with updating...maybe I'll even get some pictures up........well, maybe ;)
