Bedtime Prayers

Josh says at bedtime he and the kids were talking about when Abraham sent his servant in search of a wife for Isaac.  Josh explained to the kids what type of person they will want to look for as husband/wife one day as well as what kind of friends they should be looking to make now.  When it came time to pray, Anna didn't want to participate.  So Noah took over and prayed for good friends that will be nice and not talk mean and not tell lies.  It was then that Anna decided she would like to pray after all.  Anna in prayer, by the way, is really one of the sweetest things you might ever behold.  She is the most vulnerable and trusting and earnest and honest and innocent precious baby I ever heard utter words to heaven, so you can imagine how it stole her daddy's heart (and mine, when I heard the retell) when she prayed for a "handsome husband" that would be nice to her and not tell her he doesn't want to marry her.

Are we sure I can't bottle her at this age 
and keep her here forever?  
No? 
That's a pity. 
Guess I'll have to settle for blogging her instead.

Be. Still. My. Heart.

Can you clone this girl?

How wise you are to record all this, so many of our precious moments are faded memories because I wasn't diligent in keeping them.
