The other day, we read one of the girls’ favorite books, Show me the Honey, a Cat in the Hat educational story about how bees make honey. It’s written in the same silly rhyming voice that characterizes all the Dr. Seuss stories. Well, that voice must have gotten into Becky’s head, because that evening she was pretending to read a little pocket-sized New Testament and she looked up brightly and exclaimed, “I have honey in my Bible! It’s on this page.” She quickly flipped through, pointed to a verse, and read, “When God gives you honey, you love it so! You eat it, and eat it. You love it, you know!” I guess I have a little poet on my hands (as well as a theologian – imagine her surprise when I tell her God promises His children a whole land flowing with milk and honey!).

This year was the first time that the girls have really been “into” the whole birthday scene. And unfortunately, this was the first year that I didn’t feel physically up to throwing them a party! I had wracked my brain to no avail trying to figure out how I could manage to make the girls feel celebrated even though I couldn’t personally do much for them…and then someone suggested I outsource the whole affair…to a mouse. And I’m so glad we did! Chuck E Cheese was the perfect location. In my girls’ estimation, nothing beats games, tickets, prizes, balloons, pizza and cake…and that’s essentially Chuck E Cheese in a nutshell. It was a wonderful night for everybody!
My in-laws brought over a little dirt bike for the “girls’ birthday” last week, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it was really for Jim and Jimmy!
Jimmy: “Thanks for my not-quite-half-birthday present!” We have to say goodbye to my parents and sister tomorrow and I’m trying not to tear up thinking about it…so I’ll post these smiling pictures we took tonight! Family is so precious!
