Getting in Touch with Our Feelings

Serena sweetly expressed her "feelings" to me the other day:

Serena: Do you know how I feel?

Me: How do you feel?

Serena: I feel a dream in my heart that someday I will be a princess.

Me: Wow, that's a nice dream, honey.

Asher didn't want to be left out of the feeling/dream sharing...

Asher: I feel... I feel like a truck is in my tummy.

Hmmm. Usually the little guy's emotional intelligence is pretty high.

2011, ready or not...

Happy New Year already?! Have yet to send out our "Christmas" letter, have had no time to post any photos to this blog or anywhere else, and the new year's "to do" list keeps growing. Funny how hard it is to get a free moment these days.
BUT, we had a great Christmas, filled with all due wonder and joy. Loved having my brother and his wife here to visit with their new baby (pics of "twin cousins" to follow... maybe). We're excited for what 2011 has in store for our family and just hoping for the wisdom to take the time to enjoy it.
Here's a picture of each kid - just to prove they're still alive :)

Serena, 4 1/2 years old

Asher, 2 3/4 years old
