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."

Ohhh! Sweet little thing! I'm glad it's over too. Just have to say that she looks familiar. I don't know who or what, just that I know she's ours. That last picture reminds me of Jana a little, but she definitely has some aunt Joy, and Mommy & Daddy in her. Either way she looks so "familiar". I love that last picture. She has such pretty blue eyes. Give her a hug from me, k?
She is so sweet! I love her eyes! Sorry she had to get tubes, sounds like it went good though! I didn't mean to kick you off our blog! hahaha! I need your email addy. Send it to me on facebook and I will add you!
MY GOODNESS!!! i seriously can not believe she is that big already! she is seriously so cute.
they do tons of tubes on babies at my work (the surgery center) and its always so sad to see the babies so miserable before they go in. but its good to see em come back for something else later and feel alot better than before :D
