Brother Noah

The kids have been listening to a favorite, More Sunday Morning Songs (Veggies Tales) and Carter's favorite is Who Built The Ark? In the song part of the chorus sings, "Brother Noah built the ark."

So as we were driving home tonight from soccer practice Brooklyn starts off with this conversation...

B: Why do they call him Brother Noah?
M: Well, because God is our Father and we are all His children we can call other Christians Sisters in Christ and Brother's in Christ.
B: So, daddy's not my real daddy?
M: (laughing as quietly as I can) Yes honey, daddy is your real daddy. God is our Father in Heaven and for example because mommy believes in Jesus and has Him in my heart and Miss Shawna has Jesus in her heart I can call her my sister in Christ even though we aren't real sisters.
B: Kennedy is my real sister right mom?

AT that point I realized I wasn't helping, I was only confusing the poor girl. Tim and I got a good kick out of that later and lots of laughs. Love how their minds work.


This is what Brooklyn decided to do one afternoon while I was finishing my exercise video...she ransacked my closet and came out with these shoes to model. She has always had a thing for shoes! The girl is always finding something funny to do and laughing at herself or laughing with others. She was quite proud that she walked all the way out to the family room in these heels and as scary as it is she walked quite well...even better than me!
