tonight emerson and i read a story about listening to God. afterwards i encouraged him to pray and ask God to speak to him. he was quiet for a second and then he opened his eyes and looked up and said, "he said he loves me." :)

yesterday we were driving to preschool and julian was crying. emerson said, "it's okay little brother. there are no monsters in here." then he thoughtfully added..."mommy, we have a monster living in our house though." "oh yeah?" i said. "yeah... his name is jt." :)

i love him somethin' awful.
