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."

Spring Dresses!

Hailey & Ashlynn goofing around after church!

Ashlynn Posing

Hailey Posing

I think it"s so funny! Ashlynn, I guess, feels like she's getting older. It's sad really. She thinks somethings are for babies. Things she liked, I swear, last month. She wants to 'pose' for the camera now, not just smile, and she purses up her mouth like in the picture below. And not just for pictures, mind you! She does it when she is trying not to laugh because she's to big and doesn't want you to think that she likes that your paying attention to her, or she does it when she's trying not to laugh. What is happening to my little girl?

Those dresses are so cute. The sad part of our babies getting older is, they don't stop.
