thankful

today i was explaining thanksgiving to ella. she's two so i tried to break things down in pretty simple terms. i told her that we were going to have a feast to celebrate being thankful and glad for all the things jesus has given us. then i asked, "what are you glad for, ella?" and she said, "i'm glad for corinne, mama."

time away

this weekend ted let me get out of the house for a while on top of singing at church. so, i was gone most of saturday. it was a really nice treat! while i was at church singing this morning ella looked at ted and said, "daddy, i wanna go home". ted of course said, "ella, you are home". the same two sentences were repeated (if you have or have had a 2 year old, you understand this) and then ella said, "daddy, where's mommy? i want mommy"...sometimes it's nice to know you're needed.

bonds

i love these sweet moments. corinne was upset because she was tired and ready for a nap. ted put her in her carseat and by the time i got in the car there was no more crying. ella was comforting her by holding her hand.
