Sophia Says a Prayer

Tonight I hear Sophia say a prayer all by herself for the first time. Apparently she's done this for Doug repeatedly but I'd never heard it. I thought it was so sweet. Here's what it was:
Heavenly Father,
thank you leaves,
thank you dad,
thank you mom,
thank you stars,
thank you egg (leg),
thank you bear,
name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
I am still amazed by how much she's growing up each day! She is definitely turning into a little girl.

We had a great day today enjoying the last day of summer. We had a fun time at the Onion Days parade and definitely got our fill of taffy and tootsie rolls. It was great. Doug starts school tomorrow and is looking forward to his last 2 semesters! We can't wait till he's done!

I love those tender moments when they are growing up and do something sweet like that. It really makes you forget all the bad things they did. I think that's why kids do sweet things, otherwise no one would make it because parents would just strangle them. What was the leg/egg thing about?

Doug it doesn´t seem that long ago that you were peeking one eye out of your folded arms. We love hearing about these spiritual moments since Sophi could hardly speak when we started our mission here in Brazil. She´s a keeper!

Love you, Mom and Dad Wilkins
