How many times...

The other day Ben sat on Abby (again) and I said, "Stop! How many times do I have to tell you not to sit on your sister!?!" He became very thoughtful and paused for about 4 seconds and then said, quite seriously, "Seven". I couldn't really be mad at him. I mean, you ask a silly question, you'll get a silly answer! I wonder if the Lord ever wants to say something similar to us, and what kind of answer do we have for Him? I mean, is He up there saying, "Stop! How many times do I have to tell you to be patient!?" And am I saying, "512". How exasperating we must be to Him! Thank you Lord for loving us even when we exasperate you!

Why start a blog?

I was updating baby books a few days ago and realized it's been a YEAR since I'd updated Sam's. I know I missed a lot of funny comments and crazy things that he's done, so I thought a blog might encourage me to write some of them down. I honestly don't expect anyone to read my blog, but we'll see!
