A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Ruthie Sayings

I feel like both our kids are in such a fun stage. Jonah is growing into his personality and we're starting to see his vocabulary explode. Ruthie is becoming quite the young lady and constantly says things that make us laugh hysterically. 

Today we went to lunch with an older couple from our church and when we walked into the restaurant, Ruthie took one look at the mints they had in a bowl by the hostess stand and said for the whole restaurant to hear, "Look! They have treats for poo-poo!" 

And then a few days ago when the kids were playing with the curtains in our bedroom window, Ruthie stepped on the curtain and it ripped. I said, "Oh, baby, look? You tore the curtain. You need to be careful." She then looked down around her feet, paused and said, "But I didn't tear the pillow!" I guess there's the silver lining? 

One of my favorite things about Ruthie's talking is how she talks to Jonah. She calls him Joan, which is super cute, and something she completely came to on her own. We like nicknames at our house and she knows she saying something special when she calls him by that name. She can often be found "reading" to him, singing to him, teaching him something, and, let's be honest, ripping toys out of his hands. But most of the time, I love hearing her talk to her brother.
