a C or a P make all the difference!

Crack-up moment of the day:

Lily: Daddy you have to stop roughhousing with Mommy

Daddy: But Lily I am not roughhousing with Mommy

Lily: Yes you did

Daddy: Lily, where is the forgiveness, mercy, and grace

Lily: Walks over to her kitchen set and picks up a bunch of plastic grapes. Here are the grapes Daddy!

Oh, how one letter can make a difference!

Lily's tender heart

We have always known Lily to be a sweet girl. Always so sweet and kind to everyone. We went camping this weekend with several adoptive families and on the way home she asked a million questions about her birth mom. In very simplistic terms we explained that her birth mother was very poor and didn't have the money to give Lily clothing, toys, and food so she decided that it was in Lily's best interest to give her a different life.

So while we were crashed out from our camping trip, Lily came up to Daddy and gently nudged him on the shoulder holding some spare change in her hand. She whispered to Daddy, "I am going to give this to my birth mother". What a kind heart...
