• Ok.. another thing!  I have to tell you what happened this morning.  The girls came down from upstairs and we were sitting in the great room enjoying the fire and some nice morning visiting.  Sharalee was nursing Isaiah on one of the couches… when two of the older girls 5 & 3.5 years sat down side by side right in front of the fire, then the 2.5 years old joined them on the left, then little Carinna (20 month old) immediately went to the right side.  They all had their nighties on and were as close as they could be to each other and to the fireplace and still be on carpet.  They looked so cute sitting there… then I felt like I was going to lose it… thinking about them not being here and how big and empty this house will be next winter, when each family has moved into their own homes.  I thought I heard the Lord’s voice speak to me and say, “it is ok to have feelings… let them happen and don’t be afraid of them!”  It was comforting.  It was sweet. 

  
  

  A little while later…Carinna had some fruit loops in a little plastic cup and she was going around sharing them with everyone, even little Lucy!    The reason I mentioned Lucy specifically is because Little Lucy and Little Carinna have had some sharing issues each being close to two years old.  You know how that goes.
