It's one of the those moments where I'm just .......
gah, look what God has done .... what He's doing.
What He's showing us, what we're slowly figuring out.
Rex is at a (fancy word alert) leaders summit this week.
It's an awesome mix of suit coats & wingtips with tattoos & ball caps.
Old New Balance tennis shoes & collared shirts.
The music is loud .... they're singing 'Jesus, I sing for all that you've done for me.'
Amie keeps pointing out this person & that person. because. she's that in the know :)
So all that is for some other post.
.... just real time thoughts.

But now - her.
She turned seven last month.
and just excuse this bit of memory - couple of observations then & now that haven't changed ... her big hair & loud mouth, lol.

Rex took her to breakfast & she had a pretty lame list of her 7 things she wanted to do when she was seven.
Spending the night at Grandma's showed up like 3 times.
She didn't even have a birthday wish list.
We finally figured she just liked the surprise & excitement of her birthday.
She was the first one up the morning of her birthday - it was quiet & she walked around the corner to see her spot at the table.
She lit up ... and I almost cried.
Grandma brought donuts for breakfast.
She was tickled with a dyi pedicure kit.
Then she turned around & spent her birthday $$ on more nail polish, a plastic crown & lipstick ...
.... in a shockingly red color.
Again her excitement level over a wrapped package of store bought cookie dough & a disney movie was simple & beautiful.
We baked those cookies & watched the movie.

.... that oh-my-word-lip-color was so exciting it just had to be a part of these.

Little brother interruption :)

She had two red plate nights ... since Rex was gone for the first one.

you're loved, Roo.
so radically by Jesus.
