Busted

Madi is always asking me what words mean. The other day she asked me what "busted" meant. I thought about the best way to put it in 4 year old terms and ended up telling her that it means you got caught (as opposed to being broken, I knew that was not the meaning she was looking for). She thought about it and said, "remember the time we got busted in the rain?" Once we were at the park and we got caught in the rain and had to run home. Slightly out of context but very good use on her part:) Tonight she and Grace were playing in the sandbox and Madi comes running, "Mom, I just busted Grace; she was eating sand." She then turns around and tells Grace, "Grace I was just kidding that sand is not cookies." Who got busted on that one?

I Loved You Too Much To Just Be Your Friend So God Let Me Be Your Sister

Missing You

The girls leaving flowers where Grandpa & Grandma Reed's ashes will be buried
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart

We miss you more than anyone could ever imagine and think about you both each and everyday. Our lives just are not the same without you here. We had a beautiful weekend in Ashland this weekend and understand why you loved it so much; we just wish you could've been there with us physically. We love you!
