So Sweet.

Life is, that is.
There isn't a whole lot that is more fun than partying it up with a seven year old. Having a giggle fest over something that probably wouldn't be funny if your counter part weren't 1/3 your age is just great. My very favorite thing is probably our Latino dance parties when we get to shake our booties and try our best to keep a beat (she's seven and I have no rhythm.). Becoming a parent overnight causes all kinds of changes ... but it's also just so sweet. What a blessing.

Another favorite is getting to see them learn and grow and change is so many ways. Recently I had a pretty great conversation with Cassandra:

Cassandra:
Maggie, does God live in a cloud?

Me:
Well, yes, God is in the clouds.
...Cassandra, what do you think it would be like to live in a cloud?

Cassandra:
White.

Me:
Yeah, I guess it might be pretty white, huh?

Cassandra:
Did there must be a lot of love in those clouds, huh? (She's still working on being able to ask questions without the spanish influence.)

Me:
A lot of love? (thrown off from the comment about it being white)

Cassandra:
Yeah, if God lives there in those clouds, there must be a lot of love there, yeah?

Me:
Yeah, they must be pretty full of love. (Tearing up over her understanding of God's love)

Cassandra:
Maggie, does God have a mustache?

Me:
Well, I'm just not sure Cassandra ... I love you.



I think God is thrilled with her.
