Royal Immunity

Recently, the 3YO and 5YO were playing Legos downstairs. The 3YO was dressed in a princess costume. My husband told them to clean up their mess. About two minutes later I heard our 5YO yelling at his sister and then he came pounding up the stairs.

5YO: "MOM! She is not cleaning up and we both made the mess!!! She isn't helping me at all!"

3YO pounding up the stairs, hand on hip

3YO: "But I told him I'm a PRINCESS! Princesses just don't have to clean up!"

5YO: "YOU are NOT a REAL PRINCESSSS!!!!"

3YO: "Yes I AM! LOOK AT ME!"

Husband: "In this house, princesses have to clean up too. Nice try."

3YO: "fine"



I need to get me a princess dress.

This past weekend, we unexpectedly lost my mother-in-law.

She fought a hard battle with cancer and was doing well, but God decided it was time to take her home.

Under His good grace, she went in her sleep with a smile on her face.

We like to think she saw what was to come.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

Matthew 5:4

What a blessing.

What a comfort.

HE is GOOD.  Always.

She loved God and had a faith like I've never seen.

She never had a bad word, spoke cautiously and kindly, and never complained.

My husband is a lot like her.

I'm so thankful for that.

Kevin and I were overwhelmed by the amount of people at the viewing and funeral services,

the cards and caring words we received, and the meals brought for our family.

She was one of the most beautiful women I've ever had the chance to know.

She will be missed.
