I had a little conversation with MJ this morning. It went a little something like this:How old are you: One
How old is Mom: One
How old is Dad: Two
How old is SJ: Three
What is your favorite animal: Baa Baa
What is your favorite color: Pink
What is your favorite food: Applesauce
How many brothers/sisters do you have: 2 Brothers
What do you like to do: Paint
What do you like to paint: Red
What do you want to do when you grow up: Dance
Where do you live: Nursery
What is your favorite toy: Purse
What is your favorite song: ABCs
Who do you want to visit us: Santa
Who is Jesus: Oh, baby Jesus?
Yes, who is he: He's a little baby
One of my New Year's Resolutions is to better keep a record/journal of my kids lives. I am just needing to figure out the best way to do so. Any suggestions? MJ is such a sweet little girl. She is a very social little girl who does not like to be alone, ever. (We are working on her playing by herself, but it isn't going so well) She has a great memory and can remember things we did months ago. She is very thoughtful and aware of others. Every time DJ comes home from work she runs to him and says "Hi Daddy, how was work?" At meal time she thanks us for making the food. She is always congratulating others when they accomplish something; every time we go to the store she cheers when we pull in the parking lot and says "Good job Mama, you did it!!" She also is always giving compliments to others. She just now has started saying prayers all on her own, she does a great job making sure she blesses everyone in the family, twice, I cry every time. She LOVES her baby SJ. She is always willing to drop what she is doing to help me with him. She is almost always in a happy, cheerful mood and shows great concern when others aren't happy. I feel so blessed that I am able to raise little MJ and have her sweet spirit in our home every day.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! She is such a sweet little girl. I can't wait to come down and play with her and see you guys! Love you!
Hey Lucy! I think you are off to a great start with your goal! She's such a cute little girl and lucky to have a great mom like you! Miss you guys.
So Sweet, i miss her soo much!! I am trying to get a package together to send your way soon, give the kids hugs and kisses for me!!
I laughed so hard when I read this. She is a cutie, I want to have a conversation with her.
A page of my travel journal has "M Says..." in bold letters on the top of it. Underneath I have written several of the darling things she said, and why she said them, when we were down there. If you do nothing else, just do this. Keep the journal just for that. You and she will treasure it always. (a few fun stickers on the pages makes it extra special)
Lucy! You're doing a great job. I was just thinking how I needed to be better at documenting my own kiddos life. I miss you guys and seeing sweet May. Thanks for sharing the photos and memories :)
What a little doll. She is such a cutie pie.
On the right side of my blog, I have a spot for funnies that my kids say. When something stands out to me, I hurry and jot it down and put it on the blog. It's so fun to read them later on. Especially since I forget so easily!
aww this is so cute! I miss you guys. You should video record them too. I love watching old home videos :)
