Funny Girl
I have great photos from last weekend when Steph and Roger visited–I’ll post them as soon as my computer gets fixed. Eric and Jack spent the night with us this past Saturday night–AK was in heaven with her cousin to play with. I think I’d have had twins years ago if I’d known that my family would start dropping in every other weekend or so. It’s lovely.
Anna Kathryn is expanding her vocabulary every day. Sometimes she seems to think she’s a grown-up. Tonight, John had to stay late at church to help with Passion Play setup, so AK went to John’s parents’ church with them. That gave me a chance to stay home with the twins and get some things done. AK and I left the twins in their “johnny-jump-up” doorway swings and sat on the front step waiting for her Omie and Papa Bill to pick her up. She clutched a penny in one fist and a string of Cinderella-blue princess beads in the other.
“Mommy, you wanna come wis us?”
“Well, I need to stay home and take care of Brothers,” I responded. She shrugged dismissively, “Oh, they’re just jumping like kangaroos.”
As if that took care of that little wrinkle.

Little conversations like that reveal a child’s heart: skipping lightly from one interest to another in a heartbeat. It’s evident that the members of Anna Kathryn’s family are significant to her beating heart.
