Burke tidbits!

* Morgan and Graydon gave each other a great big hug and Morgan said, "I am going to marry him because he is sssooo givin' hugs and lovin' on me..... when he is up to my head!" Later that day she said that she wasn't going to marry Sissy because she was ornery!

* Curtis went in to wake Schuyler up the other morning..... Morgan stirred and said, "Can you do the soft tickle things and say a little prayer?" Every night before she goes to bed, Curtis has to do the 'soft tickle things' gently running his fingertips on her back, belly, legs, and even face. She picks her jammie outfits around how accessible they are to the 'soft tickle things'!

* We went to St. Peters Episcopal church on Sunday; our friend Stuart was playing his guitar for the service (a fairly small congregation) and wanted us to attend. Curtis had Graydon at the pulpit for communion and a blessing when the girls walked in from Sunday School. Graydon ran and embraced Schuyler, and then turned to Morgan and gave her a long lasting hug. The priest made a comment about it and everyone 'awed'. It was the sweetest thing and brought tears to my eyes (surprised?), and others as well! After the service I must have had fifteen comments about how beautiful our children are, how blonde they are, and how touching the hugs were!

So nice to see new posts.
I think it's okay for kids to believe in fairies, etc., even if all grownups don't.
Yes, you can be proud of your family in every way. Don't cry, but you are devoted and fab parents. I say this even tho you are related!
And don't say you didn't have an imagination as a child. I have a picture on the wall that you made that is v. creative.
