Deep thoughts by Amelia

This girl! She brings me such joy. We spent the afternoon swinging and gardening. She loves to swing and can really get those legs pumping. Her new trick today was swinging with her eyes closed. I told her she was AMAZING! While she swings she sings. From the garden I can hear her sweet little compositions that go on and on. You know, the song that never ends. She mostly sings about Jesus and loving each other and every now and then throws in some Bieber. Today at lunch she told me her teacher knows about Justin Bieber. To which I replied...oh she knows some of his songs. To which Millie replied...he has more than one? Hmmmmm....

She's also been singing another little tune lately that she explained to me is the song she sings when she misses her friend Haycee. Haycee is Millie's imaginary friend. They've been friends for years. Haycee wasn't around much for awhile but she's back. I sometimes wonder if there's an emotional void she's trying to fill with Haycee. Then I remember I had two imaginary friends and I'm fine. Cinda and Paula were my friends and they even had an imaginary mom that always said "yes" when my mom said "no." How convenient for me:)

Dirt on the knees{love}

There is so much work to be done in the garden and after spending a couple hours digging today I don't feel like I made much progress. I love spending time in the garden. There is something so relaxing and spiritual about digging in the dirt. I spend a lot of time reflecting and praying. Millie follows close behind with her bucket, singing and collecting worms. She must have had at least 20 worms in her bucket when she announced that God must be pretty busy because he sure makes lots of worms. Have I mentioned I love this girl?
