Elsie lately

has been delightful, when she's not screaming.
This morning she joined me on the couch in the sunroom while I drank my coffee.  I asked her,
"Elsie, what should I be praying for you?"
"Hm," she said.  "Pray that Delnawa would believe in the other two, not just God."
"Who's that," I asked.
"She's a girl at my school.  She's from another country.  She only believes in God, not the other two."
"You mean Jesus and the Holy Spirit?"
"Yeah."

My little girl.  Explaining the trinity to a little Muslim girl.

And later in the morning,
Me: I can't believe you're almost 6, Elsie!
Bug: It happens to everyone!

Love that kid.

We had a friend over the other day

She's in the foster system, so we can't show her face.  But her foster mom and I loved the juxtaposition of her tiny hand with Ezra's paw!

Happy Easter! He is Risen!

We really like the Lincoln Children's Museum

Elsie's snow moose

Backing up a little

So on our way to Lincoln we spent a couple of days at Yaya and Big Papa's house where we celebrated St. Patrick's Day early and went to the zoo in Atlanta.  It was cold and lots of the animals weren't out, BUT it was also snowing, which was mucho exciting to the kids.  They even got to ride the carousel and the zoo train.

First day of Prescott Elementary

Today was Elliot and Elsie's first day at Prescott.  We got a 'great' from both of their teachers.
