Dad to Sarah and Micah

A little girl is born in China. She's too precious to discard, too expensive to keep. So, she's placed in a basket and dropped off near the police station where she'll be found. She spends her first months in an orphanage, not knowing what a mommy or daddy is. Across the world, a mommy and a daddy get a picture of the girl--an answer to their prayers. Though the journey that has brought them to this picture has been long, it is but the first step in an even longer journey…parenthood.

Serious About Legos

Sarah and I were playing with Legos yesterday.  We were trying to build a firetruck RV (or an RV firetruck).  I was being creative (goofy) and putting some pieces together and giving them to Sarah to add to this 8-wheeled vehicle.  Granted, they were silly subassemblies.  But, we were playing, after all.

Finally, she said, "Dad?  I don't want to hurt your feelings.  But, you're not being very productive."

All I could think was, "You're nine!  Why are you talking like that?"

She's going to be a great boss someday!
