What they hear....

...when you really think they're not listening:

"We can't see God if we look at the sky. But, if you close your eyes, you can see God in your heart. Because God lives in Heaven. And Jesus was born as a little baby!"

Poodle informed me of this yesterday in the van.

Have you seen that Volvo commercial where the dad puts the little girl in her car seat and can't close the door because she is talking talking talking.... and then it cuts to a shot of him driving and smiling at her thru the rearview mirror while she just goes on and on and on in a world of run-on sentences?

Apparently it is a skill that all 3 year olds posses. At the very least, mine certainly does! I got tickled yesterday when I realized that for most of her rambling I had been saying "mm-hmmm" and "ahhh" for about 10 minutes but hadn't heard a bit of what she was saying. So I decided to listen. That's when I caught the above.

In other news:
Things are being somewhat more cooperative with the internet connection, but we're still a bit spotty. Hopefully it will continue to get better!
