This morning, Ali was walking towards me, and she stopped suddenly and let out a cry. I couldn’t tell what she did, so I asked her what hurt, and, for the first time ever, she told me!!! she said “foot!” Sure enough, she was walking past the corner of the coffee table, so she probably stumped her toe. It’s so glorious when your child starts communicating what is wrong! So I picked her up and showered her foot with kisses, with all the sound effects to go with, and asked her if it was all better, and she said “all better”. She really liked the healing power of showers of kisses though, so every 2 minutes or so, she would lift her foot up, look at me, and say “foot”. So of course, I would re-heal it all over again, and she would say “all better” all over again. . . only for it to mysteriously start hurting again in 2 minutes! This is such a fun age!
And a special Happy Birthday to my dear friend Barkley!! God brought us together in such a wonderfully sovereign way seven years ago

Ha Ha! I was starting to wonder if you were ok!! The only time I don’t see you on my blog 10 times a day is when you’re out of town, and I didn’t remember hearing that you were going anywhere! :)
I Love you too!!
OK, so I’m just now reading this blog. I’m a little behind, but catching up. Happy Birthday Barkley! And Rachel, watch it with the old jokes! 27 is NOT old…..and neither is 28 for that matter! :)
