Here it is: the best part of my day

I'm sick and hacky and every time I start to talk, I start to cough. So when I tucked Jonah in tonight, I asked him to try praying. Usually we pray together, but I do most of the talking, or I pray for both of us. Tonight, this was Jonah's prayer:

Dear God,
Thank you for the day.
Thank you for my room and my door and my nightlight.
Thank you for all the great things we have.
Thank you for you (he points at me) and me.
Thank you for all the great things we have.
Bless all the people we know and love.
Amen.

Best part of my day.
This next part has to with my daughter, not my son. I've already started buying clothes and things for my girl, but these I'm especially pumped about. I bought these Mary Jane Robeez on ebay yesterday for my girl. What a steal: $10.50 USD including shipping. Sweet.

i just bought those shoes about 3 weeks ago and DID NOT pay $10.50US. I will console myself that with the current exchange rate, it was close enough...
