A Newborn's Conversation With God

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.

'The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.''

And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.

''Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.

''But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Tessa's Home!

We just want to say how lucky we are to have Tessa back in our home. She moved away for a couple years, but is now back, and she is stuck with us, forever!!! Dylan is thrilled to have his oldest sister back to play with. Even though she's a teenager (scary times :) She is very loving and playful with him. Of course, Deana is still a favorite of Dylan's (sorry Tessa!) and loves to still pick on her to no end! We now have a full house, with lots going on. We love that Tessa decided the best place for her to be was right here, with us-welcome home hon.

Captian Dylan

Dylan got the chance to ride in his grandpa Alan's airplane today, and was in complete bliss! A boy after his father's heart. He did very good and was well behaved. He loved that he could talk to us through the headset and enjoyed the view.

Dylan is THREE!

Wow, our baby boy is three years old now! I can't seem to find where the time is going! He had a great birthday weekend. He had Thomas the Train everything, even a pinata on Saturday night with his friends. Mom went a little over board this year, but that's OK! It was so exciting for him, and there is nothing better in life then to see your sweet boy thrilled because it's his birthday. Pa (grandpa Smith) came just to celebrate and Dylan was so happy to spend time with him, and Pa was too. Sunday morning after breakfast we all went bowling, it was Dylan's first time, and loved it. He was pretty good too, won his mom on the second game! Got a few spares too (with the help of bumpers and a guide!!!!) We then went and celebrated at Grandma Halverson's, she made his special request of spaghetti for dinner and yummy chocolate cup cakes. All in all he had a wonderful birthday with lots of people who love him to death! He got everything he wanted and then some, and is already talking about his next birthday. I have to admit I must be very lucky or blessed to have such a easy going, fun loving little child. The love that little boy has is breathtaking, and I wish everyone was more like him. Happy Birthday Boo.

Another Year Older

Once again I had a birthday. Boy each year goes by faster and faster. I had a great day though, and 28 feels the same as 27. My husband let me sleep in, cleaned house, made dinner and cake of my choice-I'm so lucky! I got my first pair of crocs, a designer handbag, and lots of clothes, and beautiful flowers. I am so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. Next celebration will be for Dylan's big 3 birthday, wow, where did my baby go??
