First 10 Things Aunt Colleen Taught Me


  1. Be Who You Are.  Unashamed.  Genuine.  Sincere.  God made you.  Be you.
  2. NEVER GIVE UP.
  3. GOD CAN DO IT.
  4. We are loved by Jesus Christ.
  5. Love first.  Ask questions later.
  6. Smile and laugh every opportunity you get.
  7. Put others first.
  8. Being the big sister is a privilege, and a pain, that we would not trade.
  9. Dance, dance, dance.
  10. Give second chances. And third ones. And fourth ones…

Managing


I really wish I managed to get on here and write more!  I cannot get over how busy these kids keep me.  Especially Edwin – almost 18 months and he is into EVERYTHING.  The moment I typed those words, he started crying (it’s 11:30 at night).  For goodness sakes, he’s a mama’s boy. 

Clare continues to grow in drama and creativity.  She soaks everything up, and comments on it honestly and with a flare that is all Clare.  She picks up on things so into depth.
