Say What?

I'm attempting to right down all the funny things Olivia says. However she's at the age where just about everything is funny, so it's hard to keep track of it all. That being said, here are a few of the funny things she's said recently.
"I say my verse in the microwave."
"Hap-birthday! To Lupe!" (Luke)
"I grew underwear."
Today I was looking at a book with Ronan and Olivia wanted it. So when I was done I gave it to her. A couple of seconds later she handed it back. "It's ok. He can have it. I get 'nother one on my birthday."

When A Home Becomes A House And A House Becomes A Home

If you close your eyes, everything is the same as it was a week ago. All the furniture is back in the house. The echo in the rooms is gone. Everything just the way you liked it. Then you open your eyes and your eyes well up with tears. There are so many memories here. This is the home you brought your babies home to. You take a deep breath. You remember what is important. You still have your husband and kids. You will make new memories - some good and some bad. You have a new place to live in - brand new. How cool is that? You have so. many. blessings. So you smile through your tears and look forward to the future. Knowing that the Lord is going to help you make your new house a home. Now, time to go clean the old house. :)
