Yesterday at church as Brad was preaching I was reminded of a cute, funny, amazing "Hallie moment"
She was barely 4, Theo was born and still in the NICU, life was crazy....it was her turn to come to the hospital to meet her brother.
We are driving in silence, just her and I....I'm praying, and stressing, and trying not to worry or wonder, I had the horrible feeling in my stomach that I got each time we drove there, I just ached for him to be at home.
Suddenly, I hear Hallie starting to cry...
"What's the matter Hal?"
more crying...
"Tell Mom what is wrong, do you not want to go?"
"um, if Jesus is at the right hand of God (sniff), that means that the Spirit is at the left(sniff), so where am I gonna sit?"
"how about on Jesus' lap?"
"YA!!, that's a good idea, thanks mom"

Easter Dinner
We were eating Easter dinner at Chris's parents place. Hallie was sitting by her 'soon-to-be' Auntie Darlene.
Darlene notices a piece of ham on Hal's plate that has fat on it.
"Don't eat that piece of ham"
"why not?"
"Because it has fat on it"
"fat from what?"
"A pig"
Hallie put her fork down and in disbelief asks "WHAT?, you mean a pig laid this??"

Covergirl...
NOT!!!
I just checked my email and in my inbox was the online version of the "Birth of a Mother" magazine, the one that I won the makeover contest from. I clicked on it as I always do, only this time when it popped up on my screen I literally "LAUGHED OUT LOUD", then my face turned red with embarassment and I got an incredible urge to pee. My picture on the cover????? Seriously people!! Well, nothing I can do about it now I suppose, except to enjoy my new found 'famousness'. HA!
I know that each one of you wants to know where to find it but too bad for you! Just kidding....I'll save you all the time from hunting it down and give you the link. There is a little write up (with some errors) on one of the pages...maybe it's the *centerfold*....wouldn't that be hilarious! (I'll have to check which page it is).
