"Is Heaven Coming To My House?"

Last night while tucking the girls into bed, Heaven was the topic of the night. Emmy has an amazing understanding of Heaven and Jesus dying for us. Lydia is usually in lala land, but last night while kissing her on the forehead she said "Is Heaven coming to my house?" Of course, I did my best to clear this up. I know right now my mother is thinking of a famous quote from when I was 5. After months of talking about moving to Mississippi, we finally were on our way. Hours and hours into the trip, I blurted out, "When are we going to get to Mrs. Sippi's house?!?"

Here is Lydia and Rhett in their Lady Bug Tent.



Jim's dad came to visit this weekend.



So, this is a picture of Emmy (Lydia demanded to be in it as well) on Sunday night after church. I'm sure it's hard to see in the picture, but she has mud and dirt everywhere. She was under the tree house at the church and one of the kids accidentally dumped their glass of tea all over her. I thought to myself, only in the country would a child get so dirty at church!



The quote of the week has to go to Emmy this week. You have to know Jim at the grocery store first. I would assume that most men just want to get out of there asap. But not my husband, he wants to look, no study, every item in the store. It can be so painful sometimes!!!! So, while pushing the cart and going super slow, trying to wait for Jim who had gotten behind, once again, we heard Jim's famous sneeze (obnoxiously loud!). He was just on the other side of the isle. Emmy, then blurts out: "Come on Dad, PICK UP THE PACE!" We all died laughing, everyone in both isles. And of course, I couldn't agree more!

This is Emmy after playing in the rain.
