"We came home from dinner tonight and smelled smoke in the yard. Thought the neighbors burned something. We opened the door and smoke poured out. I realized I had been cooking a frozen whole chicken on the stove and had forgotten about it. Thankfully skip and Jacob were here and helped open the house up. Thankful it was just smoke, nothing more! It will probably take a day or two to really clear up but that’s a small cost to pay."

- Miracle of the day

"Emi: Is it my birthday?
Mom: No
Emi: Still yours?
Pause
Emi: Ok. Mine is soon."

- Nervous mom that doesn’t know if she can keep up with the anticipation that is building for her daughter’s birthday. She is now asking daily if it is her birthday. Only 17 days to go.

How is it possible that a 2 yr old can create such destruction so quietly during rest time? she also sprayed her hair gel all over the room, creating a hazy mist.
