The Baby

Each year for birthdays and Christmas, Sarah always receives several cute baby dolls. This year, she received two dolls that were the same, so I set one in the pantry hoping I'd remember to take it back to Wal-Mart one of these days! Yesterday, Josh said he would run to Rolla for me, so I asked him to take that doll back while he was there...finally!

Our normal routine for trips to Rolla includes Josh taking one of the kids if they want to go. I was in another room, but I heard Josh ask Caleb, "Hey, buddy...do you want to go to Rolla with me?"

"Why are we going?" Caleb asked.

"Well, we need to take that baby back," Josh replied.

And then...in the sweetest, most sincere voice, I heard, "But Daddy...............................why are we taking Gabriel back???"

I laughed so hard I almost cried. It was so funny. But it was also so very sweet. I just love my kids!
