A couple of weeks ago Anna-Kate said she never wanted to turn five that she wanted to stay four, and my little girl, forever. I assured her she would always be my little girl {"even when I'm old, like thirty?" she asked. Hmm.}. She said, "let's make a deal. You stay 29 forever and I'll stay four forever--OK?". Done and done, girlfriend! If only I could freeze time...these are certainly precious days I am living right now.

As I heaved to pick up and carry Anna-Kate to bed last night she laid her head on my shoulder and said, "Mama, when I turn five you can't carry me anymore because I will just be too big. You can still hug me though. Ok?". Tear.

Anna-Kate and I were driving home from a special shopping/lunch "date" and we heard a commercial for a father/daughter date night at Chick-fil-a (love that place!). She said, "Mommy, do you and Daddy still pray for my husband every night?". I choked back tears as I said that indeed we did.
