"Mom, do we go to church?"

The week after Easter, Emori wore a sun dress to preschool. I'm assuming someone asked her if it was her "Easter Dress" because as soon as I picked her up she asked, "What's an Easter Dress?" I explained that some people wear a special dress on Easter Sunday. Then she said, "Do I have an Easter dress?" I said, "Well, the dress you have on can be your Easter dress if you want." She said, "Sure." Problem solved...and it didn't cost me a dime:)

A few days later she came home and said, "Mom, do we go to church?" Good question. I said, "Well, we ARE the Church. We live our life showing God's love to others and live our life with others who are trying to do the same thing, so we are together the church. Now, there are buildings that people call 'church' and people meet there to talk about God. But for us, church is not a place we go, its what we are."

She said, "Oh yeah, I know, so everyday we love God share it with people and that makes us church. And when we go to Ekklesia (on Sunday nights), we are with people who love God." I said, "You got it, babe:)"

Mama-Daddy

Kennedi turned 2 last month. She is a funny girl, and is the entertainer of our family. She sees the world as her audience. One funny thing she does is that she calls Larry "Mama-Daddy". Its so funny. Most of the time she calls him by this name:)

When she first started doing this, Larry posted on his Facebook status that he "wonders if he should be concerned that his two year old daughter is calling him 'mama-daddy"" The president of the university saw him later that afternoon at a receiption, and she came up to him and said, "How's it going 'mama-daddy'?" Ha! You never know who's reading your FB status.
