"Hey Mommy"

ugh, that face!! On this particular day she was full of sunshine and roses! Apparently tired of testing boundaries, asking "why?", and insisting she needs to do anything other than what I've asked of her...this day she was all about "hey mommy". This picture reminds me of the face I see everyday, and reminds me more that she really does look up to me. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Despite all the mistakes I've made as a mom so far, this picture reminds me that grace and mercy and love must trump everything because she still has a smile that could turn the world upside down and make it giggle!
And I think about Sophie. What a lucky girl she will be to have a sister like Sarah. Well, most of the time anyway....her jealous streak is really starting to shine! She thinks of Sophie all the time. When we have a tea party, she sets a place for Sophie. When we are out walking and collecting "treasures", she always wants a flower for Sophie's treasure. Oh, and she even shares the blame with Sophie *sigh*...it's amazing how much Sophie does around this house already. I really should stop laughing about it. But at least Sarah doesn't blame Jesus anymore. :0 It's hard to teach "omnipresence" and "Jesus couldn't have done that" at the same time!
