A journal for my children of my life with them

This blog tells the story of my children while they are young.
I am constantly told, like by the stranger when my little one had an accident today in the library, that these moments go by so fast
(although I wished I could have skipped that one).
I can feel them slipping through my hands, all these little beautiful moments.
Moments when I get to be a child again because of their wonder.
Moments when their need for me challenges me (sometimes at the library) to be a better and bigger person.
Moments when I am faced with their pain and must rely on God for their needs.
Moments when I hurt because they are just so beautiful to look at, and even more often so beautiful on the inside.

I don't know if they will want to read these chronicles when they grow up, but I hope so. I hope this journal helps them to remember a childhood they loved, and family who love them

The Apple Fairy Nov 2009

I found 5 apples under Dorathea's pillow as I was putting her to bed.  Each one had one or two bites taken out of it.  "Dorathea", I asked, "Why are these in your bed?"
"For the Apple Fairy, Mommy"
I thought this was funny but the next night after stories I my interest was peeked.
"Why do you give the old apples to the Apple Fairy?" I asked
"She takes them and brings me new apples!" she beamed.

    Ok so D found a button this week for the button fairy who allegedly steals buttons and gives pennies in return. Miserly Button Fairy! This explains where those missing buttons go! The button fairy doesn't seem as nice as the apple and tooth fairies. Makes me wonder is there a sock fairy?
