I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

The Sweetest Thing!

Josh & Natalie came up to our house yesterday with their little baby girl Lilly! I can not even tell you how cute she is!! Ashlynn thought she was just adorable. She could have held her the whole time. She loved being able to feed her! Some day, she is going to make such a great little Mommy! It was so much fun to get to see Baby Lilly and her parents! If I was baby hungry before, I'm even more so now! I can not wait to have my own 'little one' to cuddle!!

Oh yes Lilly is adorable! I checked out their blog yesterday (from your link). Looks like Ashlynn had a great time playing "Mommy" with her. So cute.

Cute! Ash is going to be SO helpful with this next one! When are you guys coming down next..I'm struggling with reading this one.. I don't know.. having two jobs at the moment is making it a bit tricky to work that in.. I'm happy to borrow it to you though if I'm finished! :)
