Last week Lexi came out of her room while Jason and I were watching TV on the couch. With a sad face she whispered, "When I am in Heaven can I do anything I want?" I replied, "Yes, of course." Lexi asked, "So I can hug and kiss you whenever I want?" My heart sank and my eyes filled with tears. I walked her back to her room and she asked, "Is Gigi an angel?" I said, "I think so." She then asked if she will be an angel too. I told her I thought she will be as well. Lexi replied, "I don't want to be an angel because angels have wings and I can hug you tighter with arms." We sat on her bed and talked for a long time about Heaven, angels, prayer, and God. We squeezed tightly and I scooped her up and brought her into our bed. I am always in awe of Lexi's passion about God and Heaven at such a young age. She is my little angel.
Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia. Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal. Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great! All the boxcars were unique and wonderful! The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
