As of lately.....

I can not believe Morgan is about to be 4 in a week! Seems like just yesterday when I found out I was pregnant. Tonight, Dusty asked her what she really wanted for her birthday, to which she replied "An iPhone!". She us starting out early! I really think she would love an iPod touch. I would live to find her a used one! She knows how to use my iPhone as well as I do & there are so many learning apps that she loves to play!

Tonight when I was tucking her in after we said our prayers, she told God that she "couldn't wait for her birthday to arrive!" It was so sweet! Her vocabulary constantly amazes me! Her new favorite word is "actually" and she actually uses it correctly!

Now I lay me down to sleep....

As Morgan and I were laying in her bed saying our prayers tonight, I was reminded how the little things in life mean so much. In our prayers, we always begin by thanking God for all the many blessings that He has given us. After going through our regular blessings like our family, friends, food, & shelter, Morgan thanked God for the dog that lives next door to my parents. Her saying this just filled my heart, especially since this is a just random dog whose name we don't even know! I am truly blessed to have such a thoughtful & thankful little girl that God has given me to treasure & love!

Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a daddy!

Morgan just asked her daddy if he could build her a TV tomorrow at work! She was telling us why she needed a television in her room! This reminds me of how when we are little we think our dads are invincible! They can do anything & everything! Our real heroes!

Vacation Bible School

Morgan started VBS at church tonight. Luckily, her friend from Nursery, Audrey was in her class along with Maddie. Tonight, they made pillows from t-shirts. I haven't seen hers yet. She will bring it home on the last night, Friday.

Yesterday, Grandfather asked Morgan who her teacher was going to be in Vacation Bible School....to which Morgan replied "Jesus."

What a good reader....

Today, we were watching KATV when it was interrupted by Ned Perme with Severe Weather Information. While he was talking and showing Storm Tracker, he showed the list of the towns in the line of the storm along with times. One of the towns was "Old Neery." Immediately after seeing that on TV, Morgan said Old Navy. She had recognized the word "Old" and noticed the next word started with an "N" and said "Navy." I'm so excited to have such an awesome reader....she is already using some of the strategies I teach in the 2nd grade!

Surprising Wake Up Call

This lovely Saturday morning, Dusty & I were awakened bright & early by his cell phone ringing. He didn't answer it first and looked at missed calls and he thought he was seeing things. Then it rang again and he said "You are calling me! Who has your phone?" Of course, he thought I had lost my phone. So I then answer his phone to hear "Good Morning Mom!" Morgan was sitting here on the couch in the living room watching TV! Apparently she had walked into our room this morning and got my phone off the nightstand. What a wake up call that was!!

Welcome Home, Granna!

As I speak, we are headed to the airport to pick up my mom, Morgan's Granna. She has been in Okinawa, Japan for the past five months! Fortunately, we have been able to talk & "see" her regularly via Skype. The marvels of modern technology!

After school, I got some balloons & chocolate cake balls to surprise Mom with at the airport! We are going to eat at El Chico's with Martha once her plane arrives. Pics will be posted soon!
