Growing Up

While Adam and I were in Cary visiting my dear friend Jessica, T.J. and the girls ventured to the park. I am impressed with his pigtail skills.





When did Lila turn from a baby into a little girl?

Reflections...

The following conversation took place in the car, on the way to Aunt Jill's house for a morning swim:

Bronwen: Daddy, does everybody have a reflection?

Daddy: Yes, Bronwen, everybody has a reflection.

B: My reflection is inside my body.

D: Your reflection is inside your body?

B: Yes, it’s inside my body.

D: Bronwen, your reflection is in the mirror. What do you see when you look in the mirror?

B: I see a picture of myself.

D: That’s your reflection, Bronwen, it’s in the mirror.

B: Oh. Well, is there a way to go into the mirror and take out my reflection?

D: I don’t think so, Bronwen, I don’t know of any way to take out your reflection.

B: What if we use nails and screws, could be go into the mirror and get my reflection out?

D: That’s a good idea, Bronwen. We should definitely try that, but I still don’t think we could get your reflection. Plus, what about all the other mirrors? Do we have to go into all the mirrors to get your reflection out of each one?

B: No, just one mirror. That would get my reflection out of all the mirrors.

Cutest Sad Grump Ever

When Mom is Away...

A Gift from John Denver

As most of you know, Bronwen has carried a torch for John Denver since she was about two and a half. Even after turning the ripe old age of four, she still believes she is going to marry him when she grows up.

Tonight before violin practice she informed me that JD was coming over to hear her play. She also mentioned that he was bringing his violin too. Sure enough, his plane landed outside, and he arrived!

She asked him which songs he wanted to hear her play and she graciously obliged. After practice, she ran around the house giving him a tour.

I was cleaning the kitchen when she came up to me with her two hands cupped telling me JD gave her a gift. I asked her what it was and she said, "It's the gift of love!" I was a little speechless and told her to go show her daddy, and she told me she couldn't. Then she said, "I'll just keep it in my heart."

Oh, also, she and JD are going to go camping after they get married, and I am invited to go along.

Summer Time Hair Do

Weather is getting hotter, so hair needs to go up! The silly faces are just an added bonus.
