BFF's

Last week Kelly and Harry and I spent the morning at the zoo. It was really fun and I am very happy to say that things are getting just a little bit easier with Kelly. She still struggles for extra attention when other people are around, but I do find that when it is her, Harry, and I she seems to be getting better behaved. This is a good thing!! So, we spent the wonderfully warm morning checking out Siberian Tigers, lions with huge manes, giraffes with huge long necks, and zebras. Kelly fell hard for an interesting looking deer like animal with curly horns. She wanted to keep going back to see the "deers" several times throughout the morning. The bonus was that next to all of the amazingly exotic animals I mentioned above, these deer like animals didn't draw much interest. So, Kelly could stand front and center and have these creatures all to herself. She carried on a conversation with them as though they were talking right back with her.

Harry chilled out in the stroller the entire time. He is perfectly content to be wheeled around in a stroller and just look at things. I am not used to that as all three girls needed to be out and about looking at things at this age. He is much more relaxed than any of them.

On Sunday morning, Kylie and Kasey sang in their kids choir at church. They have a spring musical coming up in a couple weeks and yesterday they sang one of the songs from that. They really are growing up so fast! Jonathan and I sat front and center like dorks and waved at them from the audience.

I also have to document a funny story from last night. Kylie and Kasey will love hearing this story when they are older and I know if I don't write it down, their is a chance that I will forget it.

Kylie, Kasey, and I were laying in our bed doing devotions and they had a little mini fight about who was going to lay where. I started telling them that someday they will miss each other so they better treat each other right now. We started talking about how someday, Kylie would graduate high school and go away to college and that she would probably miss Kasey and that Kasey would probably miss Kylie. They both started crying really hard and I think for the first time that I can remember, I witnessed some raw emotion from the two of them. A love and bond with each other that I don't think they even realized they had for each other. It blessed my heart so much to see the conection that they have. Then, they started promising each other that they would go to the same college and NEVER get married and always live at home with mom and dad. Yeah, right! Kasey was so upset that Jonathan had her call and talk to Ant Lynnie. Ant Lynnie was able to calm her down and Kasey felt much better. Kylie and Kasey went to sleep and about an hour later, when I checked on them, this is how I found them...

Best friends forever! Or so I would like to hope for!
