I was shopping at Barnes and Noble today...looking for a book about heaven or experiences of heaven. It is a little hard to do when you are just looking at titles. If anyone knows of a good book that may fit along these lines...if you could share that with me that would be great. It can't be bland though...it needs to be an easy read. I have not been able to do much reading other than magazines.

Grace and I decided to wrap up all the Christmas presents this afternoon. She started with lots of enthusiasm and then lost interest. She started tryign to use the wrapping paper as a sword, tryign to get the scissors to destroy more things, and then got a hold of the Sharpie. I think she heard too many "No, Grace." She left the room and I thought she was going to play on the computer. That was a silly thing to assume. She was as quiet as I mouse...I peeked around the corner and she had taken, not 1, but 2 rolls of painters tape and taped the kitchen chair!!! She did a beautiful job. She even decorated it with writing. Thankfully, all her drawings stayed on the tape. I congratulated her on her beautiful job "wrapping" the chair. She was so proud, I could not be mad.

I am starting to feel like I am playing favorites as Grace makes the pages of the blog more than Holden, but I am with her all day.

I heard a news story today about a baby that got "dropped off" at a hospital. I just don't understand when I hear of those things. We were ready, willing and able to care for our little guy and are heartbroken that we do not get that chance. Then there are poor little babies out there without a home. It breaks my heart. Sometimes I don't understand. Sure there are many circumstances that may lead a person to leave their baby, but in the end...that baby does not have a home. It is hard to listen to those stories and not feel angry or hurt. Why us?
