I love Dylan!

These are just a few things that went on in my house last night...
Yes...Dylan climbed on the table...
The reason for climbing on the table was this...
Yes...I let Dylan wash the bowl after making brownies! Why did we make brownies? Because we wanted to! Dylan came home and asked, so I said yes! We even made them before making dinner, and even ate one before dinner!


Such a big help!
Why did we do this on a Monday night...because we can! Who cares that he made a mess. Who cares that he climbed on the table to eat a piece of candy. Dylan is a fun, sweet, handsome, smart, healthy baby boy.
Over the weekend I was reading my friend Amanda's blog and came across the news of her friend's 10 month old daughter being diagnosed with cancer...yes 10 months old and cancer...doesn't seem like something you should be able to say in the same sentence, but unfortunately it is. I have been thinking about and praying for this little girl and her family all week. It makes you think about how lucky you are to have a healthy child and not worry so much about messes, eating candy, throwing a fit, not picking up toys...just be thankful that you have a healthy child asleep in their own bed in their house. So as you read this, think about those loved ones, tell them how much you love them, hug them a little tighter, give them a few more kisses, and as you go through your day think about this sweet little girl, her mommy and daddy and pray that she will be healthy again, throwing toys on the floor, making messes, and eating candy just like all children should be able to do every now and then!

Oh Quinci, thank you for this reminder! Our hearts are aching so much right now and it's so nice knowing that others are thinking and praying for little Cora. God works in ways that we can never understand, but I'm so glad that we can all learn to love on our little ones more and live each day as full as we can. I'm saddened that Cora has to suffer to make us all remember this, but I'm thankful that God is reaching so many people in so many ways through this situation.

Thank you for your prayers. This is going to be SUCH a long haul for them. I have been holding mine SO tight lately.

Thanks for posting about Cora and letting others know about her and her family.
