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."

One night Anthony was sitting on the bed with all of his girls and I just had to take a picture! Poor lone man! All alone with not a boy around! He sure loves his little girlies though!

Anth, you are one lucky guy. I also want you to know that I think you are such a great Dad & husband... I miss you too, not just your girls. :)
What an adorable picture!
