Progress

On Mia:

We were reading one of those American Girls books tonight and the main character, Samantha had an assignment to write and give a speech on progress in America.  She was asking everyone what they thought was best about America and so forth.  Mia asked me to stop reading and said very seriously "I think I know what is the best thing in America."  Then there was a long pause.  I'm not sure if she was pausing for drama or if she wasn't sure yet what she was going to say, but when she finally spoke she said "I think the best thing in America is life and Jesus."  

On Lennon:

Lennon finally stayed in the nursery for the entirety of the church service today.  It was wonderful and I even heard he was having a ball!  Unfortunately I still didn't get to enjoy sitting through a whole sermon because I was downstairs teaching sunday school, but that was cool too.  And Shelby got to enjoy sitting through a whole service which hasn't happened in quite some time.  He is such a little walker too.  He walked through Kohl's today as if he had been walking his whole life.  He also has for sure six teeth and I think he is getting another two up top now also.  It's crazy!  Mia only had one tooth by the time she was one and I think we noticed it budding through the week before her first birthday.  He is practically going to have a full set of teeth by his first birthday at this rate.
