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."

Bath Time!

Alyssa's cord came off yesterday so we stuck her in the bath for the first time! At first she loved the water but when her tummy got wet and the air made it cold she scram her little heart out! Even her binky wouldn't pacify her!

What a beautiful baby! Her skin looks so soft.

Don't you just love bath time? When your done they smell, and feel even better. Is that possible?
