Conversations with a curious 5 year old

For some reason Nolan has been a very curious little fellow today. In the past 4 hours, we have had several conversations. I wanted to blog the ones that I didn't want to forget!

Nolan-"What is blood made of?"
Dad- "Your body makes blood."
Nolan-"Oh, so my body has ketchup in it??"

Nolan-"Why is pee yellow?"
Mom- "That's a good question buddy. I guess your body just makes it that way."
Nolan-"Oh, I know I know! Cuz Jesus wants it to be!"
Mom-"You are absolutely right!"

Chancey Lilah and Miss Livie

This past week our family had the privilege of seeing our cousins from Utah. They came to visit their Grandmama Jacqi and Great Grandmommie Frances. Grandmama Jacqi was sweet enough to share them for a couple of days with us, and man did we have a great time! Just being around them and basking in their sweet little spirits put a smile on my face the whole time. I hadn't seen them since their mama passed away 2 1/2 years ago. I was afraid that it would be awkward or sad, but my fears quickly passed as we played games, told stories, and just hung out with each other as if we were around each other all the time! They really enjoyed playing hide and seek in the dark and catching lightning bugs! I am sad that we live so far away because they bring back so many memories of my childhood growing up with their Mama and Aunt Karmen.

I would love for the girls to have similiar memories of thier cousins when they are older! I am so greatful for Matt and Cayr for making it possible for them to visit! I can only imagine how hard it had to be emotionally and financially. What a wonderful example of selflessness and love to share them with us! We made many new memories and built relationships that will last until the next time we see each other! I love you girls!

3 beautiful, sweet, fun, loving, adorable, and wonderful, young ladies!
