Sweetest girl in the world...


Today some friends of ours, Shawn and Kristy, moved into their very first "owned" home. Well, you know... they own the right to pay for it a really long time. The home is in a beautiful little town just three miles from us. Most of the homes in the town are OLD. It's a traditional town with a main street. The house was un-inhabitable by most people's standards when they purchased it. Their family helped them gut the house, and redo the entire inside in just two months time. It is SOOOOO... cute! I say all of this to say, that we stopped by tonight to see them. While there, I held Kristy's niece (a sweet 6 month old). As I bounced her I said "Whose the sweetest girl in the world?" Wesley, who was sitting next to me, said in a precious voice "You are!" I thought he was talking to the baby. But when I looked up at him his eyes were on me. I knew, as only a mother knows--he was talking about me. My heart melted, right there, like a snowman on July 4th. I fell in love with him all over again.

Now, I know tomorrow I will go from hero to zero in 2 seconds flat. But today... "I am the sweetest girl in the world!" Because my son says I am!
