I learned a lot about myself including what can happen when I haven't talked to my best friends in two days. lol.

I learned I still like to write notes...and fold them.

I found out I got a part in West Side Story!!! Yay...I am Graziella! and congrats to everyone in Chamber Choir...I love you guys and I am so proud of every single one of you.

Last night I babysat the cutest little boy in the whole world...ok lie...second only to Sam. Meet Patrick -



The cutest face ever.



He loved to pose for me everytime I had my camera out...wow I love this kid.



Giggles.



Patrick loves popcorn...this I learned very quickly.



ROAR! in his dinosour pajamas.





I asked him to make a silly face and this is what I got. thats a big WOW.



Intertained by Ice Age.



Patrick and Me.



Hands.



Comparing hands....oh the simple things in life make me smile.



Being a goob.

I love kids and their beauty amazes me.  That's another thing I've discovered this week - that beauty should be celebrated - not hidden. When I say celebrate I don't mean run around in skanky clothes and show off to get attention. I mean appreciate it for what it is - a gift from God. When someone compliments me about how I look or act I usually say thank you just because I think they are trying to be nice. I should really appreciate what they are saying and use it as a chance to glorify God in making me his creation. He wants us to notice all that he creates in us. Not just in a pretty smile or in a magnificent sunset, but also in the work he does through us - in everything that is life.

The king is enthralled by your beauty;  honor him, for he is your lord. - Psalm 45:11
