Memorial Day this year happened to be a really BIG day for Eden. She paddled the entire harbor all on her own, skated all around the harbor twice, lost her first tooth and came down with a terrible flu all on the same day. It was a shining day for her as a child and a not so shining day for me as a mother. I regret the way I treated her that day and responded to her in her run down and weakened state. Thankfully, since then I was given a second chance - a sort of do-over in the sequence of events, which enabled me to feel somewhat redeemed. Nonetheless I am humbled by parenting and humbled by my children in general. What grace they give when I least deserve it. Grace that can only come from God. 'For in Him we live, and move, and have our being.' Acts17:28

| Paige and crew came to play with us that day. Which sort of compounded matters in that I was a bit distracted in the excitement of seeing Kara so that I wasn't as attentive as I could have/should have been to Eden. As a side note, Zi and Paige are hilarious together. Super feisty and fierce. Not at all nice to each other, and it's as if it's their language with each other - like that is simply how they communicate with each other. |

| This was my poor child by the end of the day. Burning with fever, in continuous tears with her first tooth gone. ): |
