Spell Check

Today we had a SMALL family party for Brody, small is not really an accurate description of either one of our families.
After the party was over, the girls went about their usual routine getting ready for bed. They were really not quite sleepy, but up they went. After Brody was settled and the baby was asleep, Jesse and I decided to snuggle with the girls and TRY to calm the little beasts...children. We were talking about what they liked best about the day and generally what happened today...I spelled a few things to Jesse so the kids wouldn't know that we were talking about. Things they had done or were going to be forced to do later. Ella asked with such good manners..."could you stop spelling things please, I need to know what you are saying!"
Why do you think she NEEDED to know what we were saying...I think she has figured us out! Anyone know sign language?
Today I am thankful for large healthy families and beautiful little kids. Some of my best memories are from when I was a kid...spending time with my Aunt Peggy and Cousins Kelly and Jeff, My Grandparents, and getting to know my family histories by listening to stories my Uncles' wives would share with me.
I have said in the past that "we can't choose our families, just our friends"...but I am beginning to realize that we can choose to be friends with our families.
