Ribbons

My little 3 year old package1

Her camera book from gramma dorius... right before the bath

I don't know how I got so blessed...
first the birthday party in Foley...
then to spend Conner D's actual 6th birthday date with him
and now today I spend with Nola on her actual 3rd birthday date!
As soon as I arrive home from work her and I decide that we will go for a walk.  We are going to walk Chloe first and then bring her home and walk down to Gramma D's.
It is hot, and we are sweaty ...
i pull up her curls with my fingers and tie them up with a band...
Lacey and I decide it looks like those ribbons that you run a scissors down and they curl up.
You take the ribbons and dress up a package.
When we get down to gramma D's we are still hot and sweaty and the curls are now really swirly... I take a picture,
and look at the beautiful 3 year old package with the ribbons on top.
Thank you sweet Jesus for this time here on earth.  Where we can enjoy family and relationships and get to know one another.  Where we can walk together safely through the town and end up at our great gramma's door, she opens it with love and we slip into the bathtub water and cool down leaving the ribbons lay tightly curled upon the birthday package.
