Sarah is really good about writing memory posts, cataloguing the best kid moments. There have been quite a few for us lately, and I don't want to forget them. I've started to realize, with some alarm, that my memories of Grace as a baby are very fuzzy. We have to break out old video tapes to remind us of just how cheeky she was.
In no particular order, here are some Julia and Grace memories I don't want to lose:
One
"Come on, love, can you get down from your car seat?"
"Mommy, you know my other name is love. Julia Love Byron."
Two
Julia attends a baptist preschool, the same one Grace attended . It's what we've got around here. Let's just say both girls have given us an education over the last few years. The first snippet comes from dinner time Tuesday night, and the second is from the following morning.
Julia: "I remember my vivle (bible) verse."
Me: "What's that?"
Julia: "Jesus doing good."
....
Julia: "I remember my vivle verse."
Me: "You do?"
Julia: "Yes, Jesus love cereal."
Three
The girls descend our stairs, dressed in princess gowns, and toting a toy rifle and pistol (thanks, Uncle Paul).
Me: "Where are you two going?"
Grace: "We're hunting deer. Our daddy has gone missing, and we have no food, so we have to hunt deer."
Me: "Really. Daddy is gone? So you hunt?"
Grace: "Yes, Mommy, don't you know that's what people do when they don't get food at the grocery store and their daddies are gone? They hunt deer."
Me: "Okay, got it. What kind of deer are you hunting?"
Grace: "Big deer. We don't shoot baby deers. We feed them corn."
Four
Craig: "...and that's part of mother nature. Animals eat other animals."
Grace: "Oh, umm, Daddy, I think you mean Mother Goose's nature."

This whole gun-slinging, hunting thing is going around. Evan just announced yesterday that he would be a pioneer when he grew up. He would hunt and "get a pioneer wife." Then, he would "take her to the mountaintop to get the babies out" (a la Davy Crockett, who was "born on a mountaintop in Tennessee"). They would buy a log cabin and he would be a pioneer until it was time for him to be a Grampa. (!?)
I wished him luck and warned that "getting a pioneer wife" might prove difficult. Wait 'till I tell him that Grace wants to hunt deer!
Oh, Evan, you go for it buddy. I'm just afraid that if you want a pioneer wife, you'll need to marry of Duggar.
You'll be so glad you have these saved!
"Jesus love cereal" cracked me up!
All sounds so precious!
Enjoy!
God bless all.
Love,
Aunt Kathy
Those are great! I love the guns!
