Our morning as a family usually consists of Cheerios, cups of warm milk for the kids, hot chocolate for Greg and hot Pero, instant natural beverage, for me. On our better days as parents we read scripture stories to the kids during this time together.

While I am describing who John the Baptist was Audrey interrupts,

"Mom. I knooooow. That John," she says while pointing to the illustration of a bearded John the Baptist, "lives at Grandma's house."

A more advanced topic was that of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness. Greg explains that the devil told Jesus to turn a stone into bread and asks Audrey what she thinks Jesus did. Without pausing Audrey replies,

"No, Dad, he not turn the rock into bread because he not have his wand."

  1. How come we have such girly girls? Wands and princesses dresses, high heels... sparkles tiaras... Jill! Do you want to put Auddrey and Olivia in little beauty pageants and we can be the stage moms doing the dances in the audience? C'mon... you know it would be fun. We could sell a kidney to pay for their first dresses and spray tans!

    On a more serious note, your mornings sound great. Very peacefull and Norman Rockwell-ish.
