nothing I write is even worthy of being said after that blog…your kids are so unique/fun/beautiful in each of their own ways. your blog is an awesome example of how precious children are to Jesus and in the world. praising God with you for such a good day.

I love picturing you and your dear boy spending time together today. How funny Laney and I also call one another “buddies.” Today on the way home from school she told me she wants to be a conductor when she grows up (this coming from an orchestra performance they went to today.) As she ate her snack today she too remembered when I was so sick and in the hospital. She asked me to promise her I would never leave her again and told me how every night when grandma played her “Sleep Sound in Jesus” CD she would cry and miss me so much. Then as we read tonight before bed–she reading to me now because she loves it so much–always reading the author and illustrator out loud, asked me if I could write a book and she could illustrate it. I asked her what it would be about and she told me about a little girl named Laney and her adventures at school and her friends and her mom. I watched her shooting baskets with Dan after dinner outside, hitting most her shots already and dribbling like a pro. I could see myself, loving basketball and playing with my dad. It was a good day, wasn’t it? Our God is so good to us. Every second of this wild life is worth it–”We must go through the valley to stand upon the mountain of God!” I love you!!!

Angie, After reading blog after blog of how you really, REALLY enjoy time with your kids, I recently resolved in my head to really, REALLY “take in” all the moments with my kids. These past couple weeks have been awesome as I enjoy them more and more. I feel like I’m not just wasting away our days together as they grow up so fast. Thank you for that. I mean it. It has been awesome. Love, Kelly

What a sweet day! You have such a special boy, and Asher has such a special mommy! It’s so neat to hear you be real with your children and for them to long to be with their mommy who embraces them so well.

I want to cry! What an amazing thing to see such wisdom and understanding of God and one’s feelings in a boy of six. What a wonderful blessing to be reminded of God’s faithfulness through the life of a child.

Wow, Angie! You always leave me speechless. I am humbled by Asher’s sweet dependence and trust in the Lord. We really do need to be as the little children. I look forward with much excitement to the days when Annya will express her need and trust in the Lord and also her need for me! How priceless is your children’s love!

As I read this entry with my little thumb sucker on my lap I think to myself, “each new day with your child/children gets better and better!” I can’t wait to live in a house designed by Asher, for my ten children who eat ice cream morning noon and night!!!
