Sweet, funny moments with Taylor

While I was pregnant with Mia, we got a white miniature schnauzer named Bosco and I hated that dog. I'm not an animal person, but it doesn't help when it barks all night! Anyways. We live in Arizona and the dirt is RED. So we just had moved into our new house and our little dog, was no longer white. He looked pretty homely. Our neighbors realtor noticed our mangy little not-so-mutt and the night Mia was born, she stole him. Well I wasn't too upset because I needed the rest when I got home. Long story short, we just never went to get him. Taylor to this day still talks about Bosco. I reminded her, "Taylor, he barks all night!" She says, "MOM, we can give him a Binky (pacifier)!" She is convinced that this idea will work, and we need to get him back!

If any of you have seen The new "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with Johnny Depp, Taylor has been a fan of it for quite some time. One day Mia was getting irritated at everything and Taylor was getting sick of it. She turned to me and said, "Whew, Mia is a bad seed!"

My dad (Roger) was sick for about three weeks or so and during this time we were at their home on a Sunday for dinner. After dinner he was talking about what he was going through, and immediately Taylor spoke up. She suggested a blessing. She went on to tell us about how blessings are administered. She went through each step, and then finished by adamantly telling my dad that he needed a blessing. She arranged the whole thing. She got Tyler and Jordan, got a stool set up, and invited my dad to take a seat. It was one of those moments when you realize how simple faith can really be. Especially in the eyes of a child. He is much better now. I know that faith can heal, and I'm sure that the faith of a child can help heal that much faster. I had to write about it, because I don't want to forget it:)
