I love when my kids give those cheesy grins for pictures. They know they are cute!
My youngest daughter has the cheesiest smile of all my girlies. and I love it!
She loves her big sisters.
She is so cute when she whispers, trying to be quiet while her baby brother sleeps.
She wants to help and be just as big as Kyria. or Anya.
She loves to sing.
and look at books. [and make stacks everywhere]
and color. [and leave the crayons out]
and pretend play.
and kiss Mommy. randomly.

I pray that she truly learns and knows just how Big our God is! He is Abundance. and there is NO god like Him.
She is my own personal wind-storm. and I thank God for her!
Years ago when my daughter was just a todeldr, we were having a family celebration at a nice restaurant. I took her to the restroom and saw another mom frantically rinsing her little girls outfit in the sink and trying to dry it with the hand dryer. It seems that they were also at a very special dinner, when her daughter threw up all over herself. The stench of vomit was overwhelming, and I knew she would never be able to rinse it out in the bathroom restaurant that night.Luckily, I had brought a backup outfit (second child I knew to come prepared for anything). Even though it was one of my favorites, I reached into my diaper bag and pulled out the fresh outfit and gave it to her. She was so grateful and in a few minutes we had her daughter nice and clean, and on her way back to their group.But here comes the best part of the story. Back at our table, everyone wanted to know what took us so long, so I told them what had happened. Immediately my husband’s family started laughing at me and teasing me saying that I would never see that oufit again (I had given her my address). Bets were being placed, but I really didn’t care if I ever saw the outfit again. Mothers help each other and thats the way it should be. And I will always believe in the goodness in people.A week later, a package arrived in the mail the outfit was returned. But there was more as well. Inside, was a beautiful Christmas ornament (a little girls dress hanging on a miniature hanger homemade) and a moving letter from the mom. it seems that she also belives in the goodness in people.That was eighteen years ago, and every Christmas we hang her ornament and read her letter. It has become a family tradition now, and serves as a reminder that the world is full of good people and that we should always, always be nice to each other.
that is such a sweet story. Random acts of kindness that are unexpectedly returned are my favorite stories. thank you for sharing!
