Emilie Reading to Nathan

Emilie built a fort in our basement a few weeks or so ago and I heard her reading from upstairs, so I thought there might have been a camera-worthy event going on. I missed the majority of the book, but thought it was sweet that she was reading to Nathan (and that he was in charge of the flashlight).

Sam Singing

Okay, so you'll have to suffer through listening to me sing as well, and Sam was a little distracted by the addition of a camera, but it's really pretty cute when he sings along with me. He didn't really do it in this video, but his "alleluia"s usually end up being one long "alleluia". And you won't be able to see much, either -- this is mostly just a sound video. :)

Emilie's Birthday







So this is what my elders meant when they told me, as in impatient child, that time flies. It does. I can hardly believe that Emilie's 7 and she can hardly wait till she's 8! (Seriously -- About a week after her birthday, I overheard her telling a friend that she's almost 8. When I told her that wasn't quite accurate, she corrected herself by saying she was "seven and a half".) She's really thinking about things and will really kind of shock me sometimes. For example, a little while after we got our computer back in December, we were driving in the car somewhere and she said, "Mom, I know why you didn't get that computer when you went on Black Friday [side note: I was #12 in line and they only had 11]." I asked her why and she responded, "Because God knew you were going to get your computer back and you wouldn't need that one." :)
