Church retreat and stadium visit

This weekend we went on a church retreat in St. James, MO-about 2 hours southwest of St. Louis. On our way home we went immediately to Cardinals Stadium for St. John's Mercy Medical (where Kelli works) Employee appreciation day. They had rented out the park for the evening. Unlimited soda, hot-dogs, bratwursts and ice-cream. The game, in Arizona, was playing on the big screen. The best part was a tour of the field and the Cardinals dug-out!

these days III

These days Maia tip toes around the house when something tickles her with delight.

Sings carelessly--with no words and no real note structure--just because she likes too.

Sings the whole first verse of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star without any help.

Talks a lot about Jesus when listening to worship cd's @ lunch-time (just yesterday she said, out of nowhere, "Jesus...happy". To which mommy replied, "Does Jesus make you happy Maia?" To which she replied, "Yes... and mercy.").

Says "yessir" a lot, ramming the two words together as if she's a product of the south...
