a big squeeze hug!

our conversation the other morning...

olivia: mom, last night i felt this big thing pushing on me when i was in bed. do you know what it was?

me: um, no. what? (i'm thinking she's going to start in on her "i'm afraid of monsters under my bed" saga)

olivia: i'll give you a little hint. it's like the wind...you can't see it, but it's there. it was god giving me a big squeeze hug!

i guess the "no monsters" sign she made me put up on her bed is working :)

p.s. the picture is of olivia on our last camping trip. she was very proud of her sandwich. she made it herself...bread, pepperoni & parmesean cheese. yum yum! i didn't complain since this is the first sandwich she's actually ever agreed to eat. now she has one at least once a week with a nice stack of extra pepperoni on the side. she's also convinced garrett to like these sandwiches too. i'm guessing she'll be known as the "kid with the strange lunch" at school!
