Sweet Saddie

I had to write this before I forget. Saddie has always said the most thoughtful prayers and always surprises me with the precious words that come from her mouth during prayers. Tonight she said, "thank you for Heavenly Christ and thank you for Mom and Dad," So this was our conversation after.
Me: "Saddie, there is no Heavenly Christ, just Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ."
Saddie: "But who is that other guy?"
Me: "The Holy Ghost?"
Saddie: "Yeah, but does he live with Heavenly Christ?"
Me: "No, there is Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost"
Saddie: "Do they all live in the clouds?"
Me: "Well, they all live in Heaven"
Saddie: "Do they get to sleep and eat there?"
Me: "yeah...." (I just wanted her to go to sleep and knew she wouldn't understand otherwise)
Saddie: "But does Jesus get to sleep on the top?"
Me: "The top of what?"
Saddie: "The top of the bunk bed?"
Me: "I don't know honey" I was laughing and kissed her little face and said good night.
It was so sweet! I love the way they think! Oh, the innocence of the little ones.

I just sat down to catch up on your blog for a bit. I am so glad to hear that school is going well for you! Sounds like your kids are doing great. I am sorry that you and Jason don't get to see eachother much. I know what that is like. I don't get to see him much either!! Ha ha jk. You know what I mean, I don't get to see Andrew much either. It is hard but it will be worth it someday.

I love that Mikayla cleaned. I love it when my kids do sweet things like that. They are all really good and we can learn a lot from them.

I love Saddie's prayer and questions. How sweet is that!

I was wondering what you were going to do about your anniversaries. How fun to celebrate both. I hope that you are all doing well. We love and miss you all like crazy and think of you often. Let's talk soon!!
