Our Ordinary Life: "The very best moment of my life..."

"The very best moment of my life..."

Monday, December 15, 2008

A few days ago, Lily asked me, "Mom, do you know what was the very best moment of my life, so far?"

"No, Lily, what was it?"

"When we got Grace. That was the very best moment of my life."

steffany said...: What a sweet and beautiful answer.
I bet you just melted.

BTW-I had Xia strapped my back with just a wrap skirt (the kind you'd wear to the beach) It worked great. I used to tie her and her twin brother to me with a sheet when I was in Africa. They were much smaller then (8-10 pounds at 2 years of age.) Now I can only manage one at a time:); December 15, 2008 at 11:06 PM
