Friends
A couple weeks ago we got the chance to visit some with our friends who were in town from Australia, the Allemand family. We had a good night of chit chat and yummy wine and desserts. Wish you guys were closer so that we could hang out and let the kiddies play. Miss you and keep in touch!! (and don't forget Kate about that arranged marriage contract for Nicholas and Angel!)
From the Mouth and Minds of Babes....
...a few weeks ago, it was a crazy and rushed dinner time. I gave Angel her food and eventually sat down and we all were eating. All of a sudden, Angel starts putting her plate and bowl up on the table from her highchair. I asked her what she was doing and she responded, "Mama, Amen mama..Amen." We usually do not give her her food until after we say grace and in the rush of everything had just started eating!! Jason and I looked at each other and our hearts melted (and we felt horrible that we would have forgotten this!). It totally reminded me of two things: 1) that little kids remember EVERYTHING and 2) that it is very true that the little children will lead us to God.
...when we were in NYC last week, our friend Renata had brought over some pretty white roses for the apartment. Angel was sitting at the bar looking at them and kept telling me "Mamasan, mamasan, please mamasan." That is what we used to call my maternal grandmother that passed away in September of 2005. Angel never got to meet her but we often go and put flowers on her grave or stop by for a visit. So Angelica just naturally associated the cut flowers with going to see her Mamasan....so sweet!! (although she doesn't know yet that Mamasan was never really fond of roses, but I am sure she would accept them if they came from her great-babygrand!)
