I can always tell when Addie is being contemplative in the back of the car. Her eyes narrow, she mumbles a bit to herself and stares out the window. She grows quiet, and then it starts…
Mom? How does Jesus make babies?
Well, there are spirits up in heaven and when a baby is put in a mom’s belly Jesus puts the spirit in the baby. Then the baby is born.
So, where’s the spirit?
It’s inside you.
Can you see it?
No.
So you’re telling me a spirit is like a firework that sparkles on the inside?
Yes. Yes I am.

I told my daughter something very similar. She asked me where babies came from and I told her from Heaven and God puts them in our bellies. For many nights she prayed on her knees for God to put a baby in my belly. And then finally he did and she asked how. I told her it was when I was sleeping and I didn’t feel it. She’s 7 and still believes that. And really, babies are from God and heaven so if it’s up to me, she can think that forever.
Moosh is so stinkin cute!

Ah, their “little” (but not so) minds, so wise.
Yesterday Noah pondered, “I bet Jesus would love to come to church and hold Ivy sometime.”
