Say WHAT !?!?

Recent quotes from Addison:

Addison - Why does Grandmother (meaning great grandmother) have so many wrinkles?
Me - Well, as we get older and our skin ages, we get wrinkles.
Addison - I want to have LOTS of wrinkles!

If only I had recorded that, so I could play it back to her when she is 30 and worrying about wrinkles.

Addison and Hunter were running around playing tag.  Addison stops, looking like she is exhausted.  She says, "That is hard work, I want to do something easier. (short pause).  I know, I will doing jumping jacks instead."  Then she starts doing numerous jumping jacks.

I wish I thought jumping jacks were easy.  I just wish I had a little of the energy she has.

Great Quote

I read this quote today.  This is my on going struggle:

It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about.  What’s hard is figuring out what you are willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.“- Shauna Niequist
