#3 is a bundle of wonder, energy, love, compassion, and faith. Lately, she has been praying in a tender and precious way -- thanking Heavenly Father individually for each member of the family. "I'm thankful for brother because...." Her prayers are actually long. They are heartfelt. They nearly take my breath away.
(The fact that her siblings listen intently and patiently, and melt afterwards with hugs and love takes my breath away, too.) [Yeah, can you tell I'm in love with my kids?]
This past week, she thanked Father for her dad. It went something like this:
"Thank thee for Dad, that he works so hard for us so we can have a house, and a life that is easy --"
[I am thinking, "What a blessing that even with the challenges of our life, with Mom having health stuff and all, that she feels her life is easy....]
In the same breath, she finishes her thought with this:
"-- except for taxes, cuz they are hard."
Ah, the wisdom of little ones. :)

What a tender thing to witness! You have wonderful children. That last statement made me laugh. What wise perspective your daughter already has!
