Livie Doodle

Tonight we were having family home evening, and we were talking about how God loves us and one way He shows us that He loves us is by creating the world, and making sure it had extra things in it to make us happy. I talked about how when I see the fall leaves turning, they make me happy, and think about how much God loves us. Brad talked about how beautiful lakes make him happy. Liv thought about it for a minute and then said, "I know what in my body makes me happy...my heart. It makes me happy that Heavenly Father gave me a heart." I thought this was a fitting comment for this little angel. She has a very big heart, in every way. She is sensitive, thoughtful, and loving, and I learn from her everyday.

A few less sentimental side notes:
- Brad and I discovered this weekend that Liv LOVES any form of Chicken Soup. Tonight, she raved about our chicken soup over mashed potatoes. She informed me that it is her most favorite recipe ever and that I am "the best cook." I have a feeling we will be eating a lot of it this winter =0).
- She is doing a great job reading, which makes me VERY excited. I love watching her learn new things.
-She has an imaginary friend named Pumpkin.....Pumpkin is also my hand, and she will do anything Pumpkin says. (When she was 2 she had an imaginary friend, which was also my hand, and it was named Raccoon. Raccoon had the same convincing ability... Both friends have been her idea, and have come about through books)

P.S. Yeah....I'm obviously feeling lovey-dovey, sentimental tonight......It's not my fault, I get it from my dad =0).
