My sweet girl.

While Jeremy worked on our house this past Saturday with his dad, my dad, and my brother Craig, I was able to spend some sweet time with Magnolia. After her Zoo Tots class, she and I were headed to our new home to take the guys lunch. Since Magpie has never met her Uncle Craig before, I was trying to explain how he was related to her. Once she caught on that he was her uncle just as Keith is, she began to ask about other family members.
"Like MeMe is my aunt."
"That's right."
"Ganna?"
"She's your grandmother."
"Papa?"
"He's your grandfather."
And so it went through the family tree until she got to our immediately family. She asked about Jeremy and then about me. And then she said:
"Furman?"
"He's your brother."
"And he's my friend."
Melt my heart.

Later that night as she lay in bed and was telling me people for whom she wanted to pray she said "Help me pray Mama, cause I don't know the words." What a reflection of the way my heart often feels when coming to my Father. Thank you God for the tender heart that you have given Magnolia (and for giving her to us).
