Holding Family Blog: keep HOLDING on

Sorry I have been so awful about updating- there was a whole week that went by when no one did anything interesting, so nothing to share there. Then it was WEDDING WEEK for my brother and new sister in law and lots happened, but there was no time to update.

Time to play catch-up!

One of my favorite times of day is the drive to school in the mornings.

Lexi loves to converse in the car and I almost always have a Lexi-ism to share by the time I get to work.

Here are a few:

- me: "Lexi, what is Emma doing?"

Lexi: "Oh, just hanging out"

- Emma was babbling away one morning in her carseat and Lexi yells, "EMMA! What do you MEAN?!"

- "Mom, here's my shoulder and here's my face and here's my neck! . . . MOM! Emma no have a neck!"

- "Emma is a baby, Roxy is a dog, Daddy is a boy, and Mommy is . . . . MEGAN!"

Lexi also has funny things to say at other times of the day as well (exhibit A and exhibit B):

- Lexi was a little too loving at school the other day, when we asked her if she got in trouble at school that day she said "Yeah, I did." When we asked her why, she said "I was kissing Mason." I later found Paul and Lexi on the back porch having a very deep and serious conversation. You can guess the topic. Poor Paul.

- When we were leaving to go to a wedding, Lexi was upset that she didn't get to come. I told her it was just for adults, no little kids could come. She sweetly said, "Just one little girl?"

- She wandered into the school library one morning before preschool and loudly exclaimed, "Oh it's so beautiful here!"

- I asked Paul what time it was, Lexi yells "TIPPY TOE TIME" from across the room and proceeded to start dancing exuberantly all over the house.

- More to come on this later, but she was one of the flower girls in my brother's wedding. I was crazy stressed about her making it down the aisle, but she did great. I should have been stressed about what happened when she made it to the altar. She curtsied to Jesus while my niece began a loud chorus of "YAY" that Lexi promptly joined in. See the awesomeness here.
