*Family Words*
I don’t know about you, but at our home we have some words that are completely our own. The reason why they are our own is that we made them up.
One day Kelsey was trying to help Emily work through something that she was upset about. I asked her “What’s the problem?” Kelsey said “I’m just trying to consooth Emily.” In case you wondered, that is “console” and “sooth” together. What a darling little girl!! When I am struggling, I love it when I get “consoothed.” It really helps me feel better.
Remember that word. You have our permission to use it!!
Bonus Baby! She is totes the Best!!
My darling Emily is so funny! She is beautiful, sweet, loving, and very funny! One of the things she does that is so funny, is that she abbreviates her words. She calls me “moth” which is short for mother, not the insect that flies. I will ask her if she can do something, and she says, “I totes can do that!” Which means, “I totally can do that!” Or, “I probs can do that!” Which means, “I probably can do that!” Then there’s “awk” for awkward.
So one day she shortened the word sister, to sist. Then I hear her say, “Note to self, do not shorten the word ‘sister’!”
Sooo funny!!!! It’s probs best not to call your sister a “sist”! (cyst)

Seasons of Life
School started this week, and with it came all sorts of changes. First, I started a new job. It is a good job, not that the last one wasn’t a good job, but it is a nice change.
And third, my baby is in high school!! How did that happen? We used to tell the kids that it was breaking the rules to “grow up”!
I have never liked big changes, I mean BIG changes, don’t get me wrong, I love variety in life. But when things change for good, leaving in their place an empty space or even something new, it is always a challenge. So I have been adapting and trying to appreciate
