A Cabinet?!?

Landry was very interested in parts of the inauguration yesterday.  When Rick Warren started to pray, she sat down and carefully listened to every word.  I was watching her with pride and admiration, knowing that she wants to pray more like an adult.  She was excited when he used the word liberty, because she was familiar with that word from the the Pledge of Allegiance.  She was still listening with great focus when all of the sudden she got a confused look on her face.  Then she just started cracking up laughing.  I said "What's so funny?"  She said "That man just prayed for the cabinet!  That is so funny to pray for a cabinet!"  At that point I think she saw that this man could teach her nothing and she got up and went to play with Play-doh.  

Landry had her party at My Gym in Charlotte.  She and the other kids had tons of fun.  It was a little dangerous for the younger siblings, but everyone came out in one piece.

Happy Birthday Landry!!!!

Today is Landry's 5th birthday!  Oh, how I thank my Lord for the gift of this child.

She did it!!!

Landry's desires overcame her fears and she got her ears pierced for her 5th birthday.  She didn't skip a beat.  I was more nervous than she was!  The girl has nerves of steel when she wants something!  She keeps telling me that she doesn't believe that she has her ears pierced and that she thinks it's not real.  Then she says "Is it March 7th yet?"  You guessed it.  That's the day she gets to change her earrings.
