“When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way. He doesn’t stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother’s heart, and she puts it into the baby’s mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies.” ~ET Sullivan

The darndest things, Part II


Here are some more "quotables" from Leah:

Eating coffee cake and leaving only the cake part on her tray, "I want more top." (as in more topping--who wouldn't want more topping?)

Eating shredded cheese, she dropped one piece in her yogurt and said, "I dropped my chee!"

Eating Honey Bunches of Oats, she picks up a cluster and says "best part," apparently based on my comment from long ago, "Oh, that's the best part!"

She refers to all non-adults as "kids" even though they are usually several years older than she is.
poopace (toothpaste)
Sammy-el (Samuel)
I'm hungry some luntz (I'm hungry for some lunch, only non-specific for time of day)
lawn-dory (laundry)
Ly-meen Naqueen (Lightning McQueen)
Little Einsneins (Little Einsteins)
Here are some pictures of Leah after using a different kind of "chee," mommy's new straight iron. The popcorn was the reward for sitting still for 10 minutes. Can you believe how long her hair is? Can you believe that she left the clips in through three hours of church?

what a patient girl to let you straighten her hair!

Since I have very thin, limp hair, I've always been envious of the rich curly look, but Leah's a looker either way. They must have good genes! Mom
