New Year's Resolution Time

First item of business: No more excuses. Time to blog.

Autumn is a firecracker. She makes us laugh. She teases the kids endlessly. She  is wise beyond her years. She is bigger than life and yet teeny tiny. She runs the house and gets her way and it isn't always nice. 

The other night she was being mean to Ivy on purpose. She was pulling her hair and hitting her, all the while smirking about it. She must have felt like being extra mean and told Ivy that she didn't love her anymore and she was no longer part of the family. 

Ivy was devastated. Both big kids came running to find me and through her tears told me what happened. I asked Autumn why she would do that and asked her how she would feel if I said she wasn't part of the family. She looked at me, smiled, nodded her head and said, "that would make me really really ..... Happy". 

This is our life. Everyday.
