When we were at Wal-Mart the other day, looking at costumes for Halloween, India debated for about 10 minutes about which princess she wanted to be. As I was trying to coax her toward the $15 costumes (rather than the $20 Disney costumes), she suddenly stopped and stared at me and said loud enough for anyone w/in 100 feet to hear, "Mom, I think I want to be a stepsister."
"What?!?" I asked, thinking I had heard her wrong.
"A stepsister!" She yelled even louder. We quickly grabbed up the gaudiest, poofiest hoop skirt sort of southern belle dress they had and headed for the register. I'm sure you'll see those pictures soon.

Tired
Cass got 4 hours of sleep last night; on the early end because he 
couldn't sleep, on the late end because he had to leave for church at 6:30. Then we spent all day doing things that had to be done. All day literally. It's now 11:23 and he's still down in the shop working on the recruiting display. He's tired. He misses us. We miss him. Every time Jude heard or saw him today he began his "Daddy! Daddy!" chant which he yells like a football cheer, then ran straight into his arms and held him for as long as they both could handle it. Precious.

Dark
Tonight India, Jude and I walked home for about a mile in complete darkness, except for a few twinkling stars above us. This wasn't the faded navy of the city, but the deep, dark, you-have-to-let-your-eyes-adjust midnight black of the country night.
It was beautiful. India was a bit scared at first, saying she couldn't see me, but after a few minutes they both began oohing and aahing, with giggling mixed in between. The crickets crooned and I found myself wondering what I was stepping on (and in maybe?).
The silencing of my sight was a blessing. I could focus on my hilarious stroller companions, the faithfulness of my dog and the lullaby provided by our Father in Heaven. Thank you Jesus.
