Daisy's Biggest Fan

Daisy's biggest fan happens to be the littlest member of our family. Every day she stands at the kitchen window looking at Daisy for more than a few minutes today. Not only did she look, but she also hollered "Daisy!" and knocked on the window. It finally dawned on me that I had not captured Katie's affection for Daisy on video. So, here is a tiny clip.

Random Tidbits for the Baby Book

Here are a few things overheard at the Gray house lately that need to be recorded in the baby book...

Abby said, "Mommy, I am not ready to go to heaven yet." When I asked her why, she said, "because I want to see my children grow up first."

Katie was browsing through a children's clothing store, apparently checking out the clothes hanging on the rack. Then she turned to me and said, "No Jake shirts, Mom"

When I saw that Abby had pulled all of her stuff out of her closet this afternoon, I asked why she had made such a mess and she responded, "Mom, I was thinking of Katie. She will need room in the closet when she moves into my room. And the guests can put their stuff in Katie's closet."

Growing Season

We are in the kid-growing season around here, and plants sometimes find our home to be a difficult place to survive, but this week the girls and I were proud to discover a red tomato on our plant in the backyard. Apparently, pride can even make a kid's otherwise stubborn tastebuds find pleasure in a homegrown tomato!

Daddy and His Girl

Abby & Daddy have gone to a few of the Saturday morning Home Depot workshops lately. Here's Abby in her apron before the last one. She looks so grown up to me!

Lately, she has really become interested in time. This morning she had put on her apron and then asked more than a few times what time it was.

We found her by the front door waiting for Daddy.
