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."

Alyssa May...

Alyssa is growing up WAY to fast.
I don't know how to stop it either.
She is such a little girl.
She makes my heart melt.

Alyssa's hair is finally long enough to put into to little piggies...
and I LOVE them!
They make me smile.
This is her saying 'cheese.' {but sounds more like 'cheesh'}


She likes to walk around in Mommy's shoes,
and is way to good at it for her little age.
What a little rag-a-muffin!
