AprilJayne turns 3

It hardly seems possible that our baby is three years old! While it is cliche to say "It seems like just yesterday..." the events leading up to and surrounding Rilla's birth were so unusual for us and so full of grace, turmoil, and learning I am sure I will never forget that season of life.
Lately Rilla has been telling me that once she turns three she would be taking the next life changing step of going to college. Why not? Her big brother, big sister and Daddy are all in college- seems logical to me!
At the ripe old age of three, our daughter loves to sing the ABC's, looking for the letter "R" whenever we are out for a drive, sings her babies to bed at night, has left board books behind for real picture books, knows where household, cleaning and craft items belong in our home better than any of the males we live with, still naps for two hours a day and hasn't worn a pull-up to bed in two weeks so I consider her completely potty trained.  She adores her baby dolls, bosses her brothers around and whines at the drop of a hat. Her laugh is infectious and she is a source of joy to everyone. We are so very thankful for her.
It was a full day and she nodded off to sleep a little while ago, kindly giving me some time to clean up after the whirlwind that accompanies any group of preschoolers hopped up on pink birthday cake.
