Big Butts and Familes

I have a few stories I need to document before I move on to the daunting task of blogging about Disneyland. Disneyland might be 3-4 blog posts long. It'll be worth it though, to get all our pictures put together and our memories documented.

First, my girls have said a few funny things this last week that made me giggle. They are getting so big and are saying the funniest things. It s fun to see their personality emerge as they get older and experience new things.

While eating dinner last week, Molly was standing up on the chair sticking her butt up on the back of the chair.

Molly: "Elley, look at my butt. It's sitting on top of the chair and it looks so big."

Elley: "That's funny Molly." (giggle, giggle)

Molly: "Elley, what if mom had a big butt?"

Elley: "She does Molly!"


This morning in the car driving Elley to school we drove past a pasture of cows. The girls were talking to each other about the cows and who was the mommy, the daddy, the sisters, and the brothers. I asked them how they knew they were families. They told me it was because there was one mommy cow, one daddy cow, one sister cow, and one brother cow.

I responded by saying that we didn't have any brothers in our family, and asked if we were still a family.

Molly: "Mom, we do have a brother, he is in Heaven."

Me: "Oh really, what's his name?"

Molly: "The Lord."

Me: "You're right Molly, he is our older brother."

Molly: "And He did something for us, He died for us."

How lucky I am to have such sweet little granddaughters who know who their big brother is, and have parents who are teaching them. It reminds me of when their daddy was about 3 and he was telling me about Jesus and his grandpa Phil in Heaven.
Love all of you, and miss you! Grandma Pat

What a special thing. You are good to remember it and to write it down. I always forget!
