Today I am thankful for the way that Annie hugs. She really squeezes your neck and she pats your back. The entire time she is hugging you she says "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" and then she raises up her head and kisses you. It is so so so cute and sweet. Tonight when I was rocking her to bed, I was saying a prayer with her and she just grinned the biggest grins the entire time. Then when I said Amen she gave me about 10 kisses in a row. And she doesn't say night night, but instead she says "Bye!" when she is going to bed so in between each kiss she told me bye. She is just precious, but SUCH a handful. That child has been into EVERYTHING today. Nonstop destructo.

Here is a cute Lucy story. She goes through phases of coming into our room in the middle of the night and getting in bed with J and me. She will do it every night for months and then not do it at all for months. She is back in a stage of coming in our room and when she showed up last night, she was handing me all of her stuff - 2 blankees and a pillow and she had this huge smile. Then she says, "Mom, I flash lighted my way down the hall tonight!" and she shows me her flashlight. It was so funny to me, mostly because she was so proud of herself. It was pretty smart of her.

My Bible study starts back tomorrow morning and I am so excited about that. I hope everyone has a wonderful week. I just love today's pictures. Annie was such a smiley girl for the camera today, which is not the norm, but they were having so much fun playing hide and seek behind those curtains this morning.



It appears as though Annie has a pair of dog ears!


She is always getting herself in tight spots.
