Precious Moment

This morning Zoë crawled into bed with me (Abbie) and Eliza. Zoë leaned her head on Eliza and said, "Eliza... my best friend ever!" *tear in my eye!* I hope this love stays forever! :-)

Oh, The Things She Says!

Here is what Zoë says:

~"Mommy, you have your ear carrots in?" (I had my ear plugs in,LOL)

~ When something is really good Zoë will say, "Delicious!" or "Tasty!"

~"Guess what??? ..... I LOVE YOU!!!" (She says this all the time, in a whisper at first and then loudly)

~"See you later, I will miss you!" (Says this whenever she is leaving the room, or leaving the

house.)

~She will say, "Just a minute!" or "Wait a second!" She says this with the hand gestures to wait. :-)

*We are working on, "May I have....please?" she does VERY well with this and uses it to ask for things, she often gets confused though when she wants you to do something for her. Instead of saying, "Will you" she says, "may I" it makes for some funny sentences when she is trying to ask you for something.

*She is memorizing Ephesians 4:32 a little at a time. I say the reference and Zoë says, "Be kind..." we will add a little more each week. :-)

Fun

Fourth of July with Daddy! Zoë was afraid of the fireworks so she wore her ear protectors.
Eliza a few days old looking at her Daddy.
Very newborn Eliza with Daddy and big sis. :-)

Z and E

Zoë always asks to hold Eliza. :-) She finally got to.

Eliza, looking content.

Whether is Go to Church or Not

God in the Dock, C.S. Lewis

Here is Lewis’s answer to whether it is necessary to go to church:

"When I first became a Christian, about fourteen years ago, I thought that I could do it on my own, by retiring to my rooms and reading theology, and wouldn’t go to the churches and Gospel Halls; I disliked very much their hymns which I considered to be fifth-rate poems set to sixth-rate music. But as I went on I saw the merit of it. I came up against different people of quite different outlooks and different education, and then gradually my conceit just began peeling off. I realized that the hymns (which were just sixth-rate music) were, nevertheless, being sung with devotion and benefit by an old saint in elastic-side boots in the opposite pew, and then you realize that you aren’t fit to clean those boots. It gets you out of your solitary conceit."
