Thursday Quotes

Thursday is Grandma and Mackensie day and yesterday, as always, was a fun day. The day goes very quickly and it is very hard to say goodbye at the end of the day. Yesterday somehow we ended up in the upstairs hall landing with Grandma on her back and Mackensie laying on her back ON Grandma. She looked up and noticed the smoke detector and ask what it was. That sparked a conversation about fire and what to do if her house was on fire. I told her the first thing she was to do was stay in her bed and yell for Daddy. We then talked about other things to do and she listened very intently. Then she said the sweetest thing. She said, "You know what's special about that Grandma"? "My Daddy will always save me". Oh, to have the trust and love of a four year old. Her Daddy turned 32 on the 16th and I can honestly say I have never loved him more. I am so proud of the man, the husband and Daddy that he has become. He has always been an awesome son and I believe he always will be. I can honestly say, just like Mackensie, my son will always save me. He did 32 years ago and keeps on doing it. I don't know what I did right - but I am proud of myself and especially of him for the kind of man he is. We had, and continue to have alot of help from friends and family. We thank you that. You know they say it takes a village to raise a child. I am especially happy to be a part of several villages.
