Bullies Beware
A trip to the park gave me new insight into the highly complicated relationship between two sisters last week.
Kayleigh was being chased by 2 little unsupervised boys (ages around 3 or 4). They were attempting to "woo" her by chasing her with a light saber and calling her "stinky girl". I had admonished them 2 times or so letting them know that in fact (1) she was not, in fact, stinky but smelled quite pleasant, and (2) that chasing her around was not a nice way to act to other children, and that I would find their mothers and tell them how badly they were behaving. Kayleigh was not appreciating the attention from her preschool suitors, however and kept trying to avoid them. I noticed Taylor was watching all of this with a wary eye, and finally after Kayleigh had almost had quite enough and looked like she was about to try to knock their blocks off, Taylor intervened. "Hey, you little meanies!" "that's MY sister and I'm not gonna let you talk to her anymore!" Needless to say, they scurried away with their little light sabers between their legs.
Bullies of the World Beware when Taylor is on duty...
She really does love her sister... It warms my heart.

I love the updates from Christopher Walken on twitter. If you like dry, sarcastic, humor, it's a real treat. I'm going to try to post his updates on here, but I don't know if that's possible. Go check him out, he's hilarious.

I'll be there for you....
Friends.
Who has time? Really. Between our ministry comittments, children, and work, it leaves little time to put forth a serious effort to connect with other people. We have lots of people who we get together with every once and awhile, but I long for having some of those friends become the "pop in" friends and the friends who we can just call up at the last minute and hang out with. People who become your second family. How do we manage it? Where do we start?
We've had them briefly before, but there have been moves (states away), and children have been born since then. It's hard. It's just hard...
