Stop.breathe.gasp...

Don't grow up...
How do they so easily grasp your heart?
A small three year-old with a personality as large as the world.
Syrup dripping from her face, she stops and flashes a smile as bright as the sun at you. Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.
innocence as beautiful as the moon, unaware of the darkness of this world. Stop. breathe. Gasp. Don't grow up.
She walks up to you and quietly slips her hand into yours and exclaims, "You're my best friend!" Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.



 She whispers in your ear, "I love you, Kaylee!" Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.
 A little girl with two mis-matched flip-flops. 
A three year-old girl with the world at her hands... Stop. Pray. Protect her little heart. Lord... hold her tightly in the palm of your hands. Stop. Breathe. gasp.  Don't grow up.


Psalm 112:2



 Their children will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.

  3. Yay for younger friends! :D They are such a huge blessing and I don't know what I'd do without them. So thankful for these awesome blessings from our Heavenly Father. <3 I need to remember to write down younger kiddo quotes more often - I was doing it pretty faithfully for a while, but need to add some recent ones to the list. At fam fall retreat Callie and I had mentioned one morning about how the colors of my purple jeans/denim dress/brown boots clashed in a good way...and later 'lil Emma randomly mentioned something along the lines of "those do not match" (pointing to my boots and jeans). Too cute and brightened my day! ;) Oh, and love the focus on your friend's eyes in these pics + the lovely location, Kaylee! Sorry for rambling. :P ~EB

    1. Hey Mrs. Misiura! We are doing well over here. Life is full of speech. :] The tournament went better than I expected it to be. Josie won 4th place in her Persuasive speech and I made it to sem-finals in my Open Interpretation. How are all of you??? We should def Skype sometime soon, k? :] Love you too!

Make my day by leaving me a note of encouragement, a thought, or just a simple comment to say 'hi'
