This has been a wonderful Christmas, but it has taken a tragic turn. One of Rebecca's classmates was in a bad accident a couple of days before Christmas. We actually, unknowingly, drove by the scene while doing some last minute shopping. I knew it was bad when we saw it. The little boy, Nicholas, died on Christmas night. He was seven years old. Rebecca is handling this very well. I am not so much. As I wrote in an email to her teacher, "She doesn't know what it is like to love a child, as she is just a child herself." She has decided to attend the funeral tomorrow morning. I am asking that you all pray for her, me, and especially the Sims' family. His sister was also injured, but has returned home. I cannot imagine their grief.
I will post the more cheerful portions of our holidays in the near future, but in the meantime, say a little prayer for me.

The photo in the header was taken either by my mother or father while fishing with the bears off the Kenai, July 5, 2006. (I think that's the right date.) Those were good times. Warm times. Summer times. Thanks for the great pics and memories!

Lily L0gic:
“That looks like throw-up,” referring to Mom’s made-from-scratch pecan pie.
“ ‘sides, I’m big/little.” She actually says “swash”, but that’s only because her “L’s” haven’t come in yet!
Singing to herself at the doctor’s office: “Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said: (pause for dramatic effect) Nothing.” Sounds like she has a pretty good grip on modern medicine! j/k
“Please bless Mom that she won’t die, and please bless Olive that she will feel cute,” prayed with the same amount of concern and conviction.
“and please bless Olive that she will feel cute…"
“there’s a lot of water here.”--a classic stating the obvious moment made while swimming at H2Oasis water park after about 45 minutes.
“I need to wear a big dress. The little dress won’t dance enough.”
“I’m not Lily, I’m a pirate! I’m not a mean pirate, I’m a nice pirate. Arrgh!”--spoken while holding down one eyelid with her finger and making a hook with the other.
“Sarah is a wolf. She’s a mean wolf with sharp teeth, and she smells!”

After receiving a special award at the quarterly awards assembly: “I always knew I was a great artist. Now I have the certificate to prove it!”
“I was really disappointed that I didn’t get a ribbon or a medal at
“Sorry, Mom that I’m so late,” as she arrives home from school 45 minutes after school let out. “What happened?” I asked. “Oh, listenin’ to the Holy Ghost.”
