Tues May 12th

Lisey is so cute. She's been calling Nick "father" and me "mother". It sounds so crazy cute out her little mouth! Lisey is so sweet. I was being grumpy about something (I had a frown on my face) and Lisey comes over and puts her thumbs up and says "smile. Mother, smile" and then she puts the biggest smile on her own face. 

And when Lisey smiles she doesn't just do it with her lips. When Lisey smiles, she does it with her whole face; her eyes twinkle, her mouth makes a fun half moon, her cheeks plump out. When Lisey smiles you can't help but smile back at her. Lisey may be one very active little girl, but she sure is a sweetie. She doesn't like to see me unhappy. I need her in my life and in our family. She makes our home a better place. I need that reminder to smile. 

We drove all the way down to the car dealership to get a key to unlock Nicks tires only to find it was in the glove box the the whole time. We made the best of things and went out to eat.
