A moment like this...

between all the the craziness that is being a parent and watching your child grow, between carting kids from here to there, timeouts, hair pulling, tears, fits and screaming there are moments that make being a mother/parent one of the greatest miracles on this earth. There are times when you catch a glimpse of what kind of a person your child is going to be.


While I was getting ready for the day this morning Eva had Elle come upstairs with her and wanted her to go in her room (this is a rare occurrence) she let her play with things that she's usually screaming at her not to touch, and then Eva put Elle on her bed and read a story to her...it was the sweetest thing I have ever heard. Of course Eva doesn't know how to read yet but she was telling her this great story with the pictures from a book. Elle just sat quietly and listened. It was so precious. Elle looks up to Eva so much and it was just so sweet to hear them being loving and kind to one another. I want to take moments like these and remember them forever so I can always share them with people.

I'm so proud of Eva, she's had a rough year this year and her little body has gone through a lot...deep down beneath all of the crazy four year old tendency's is a caring teacher and a leader, she is going to become an amazing human being that will touch many lives.

How very sweet. It is fun to see siblings interact with one another in a sweet loving away. It is indeed a rare treat.
I would love to create a Christmas card for you. I just finish one up for another friend, so I have some more creative time on my hands. Send whatever you would like. My last one had four pictures on it. I know it is hard to get a good family one with little kids.

I love those moments too. I wish I could have a secret video camera installed that only recorded moments just like that! Maybe I should put Ronny on that project, that falls under the category of artificial intelligence doesn't it?
