Sparkles

My picture doesn't do it justice in the least and I'm not an experienced enough photographer to be able to capture it appropriately, but my dear 3 year old was tickled pink when she noticed the "sparkles" in the grass one morning on our way home from taking the kids to school. It really was pretty and did my heart good that she appreciated God's winter art. ♥ When we got out of the van, (and it was COLD), she asked if she could touch some. Though I was looking forward to getting back in the house to warm up, I paused for a couple of minutes so she could explore these diamonds in the grass. Like trying to catch a rainbow, the minute she got close to a "sparkle", it was "gone". :) Such wonders! As long as I'm sharing an Emily story- I have to record Emily's word. Each of my kids has had a word that they have said kindof goofy when they were about Emily's age. Will called ketchup, "Chep-it". Jessa couldn't say her brother's name, Will, so she called him, "How" for quite awhile. Emily's word is "Poot-frints", (footprints). It just cracks me up. I probably should correct her, but it's just so darn cute that I'm not ready for her to say it right yet! :)
