Kara-Wara

The other day when we got home (all of us), we realized how icy the driveway was. For those of you who haven't been here, our driveway is REALLY steep. Scott and I decided right away, let's head down to our town's DPW and get a bucket of sand. We keep a 5 gal. paint bucket in the garage so Scott got out to get it and ran in the house real quick to get his snow boots on. (Kinda muddy and messy at the DPW!) So when he was coming back out, I yelled out the window, "Let Molly come!". Molly is our big ol' black/chocolate lab. She was SO excited. I opened the slider of our van on Kara's side (there's a power button near the driver's seat) and instead of hopping up into the van, she LEAPED straight onto Kara! She's like 2x the size of poor little Kara! Now, Kara LOVES Molly but was thoroughly irritated with her and yelled at her. However, once Molly hopped into the 3rd row and started whacking her tail against the side of Elijah and Noah's heads, she was cracking up laughing! Then Molly made herself comfy, sitting between Elijah and Noah. We were all cracking up laughing! It did look hilarious, Molly sitting all pretty between the boys with a look on her face like, "OK, let's go, I'm ready!". Well, Kara and I always talk about how we're the only girls in the family and so once she looked back and saw Molly like that and was laughing, she exclaimed, "Hey Mommie!? Now there are THREE girls!!!" It was so adorable! I love my little girl, she's so beautiful, smart, funny, exhuberant and best of all, she's KIND. I'm grateful for a daughter who cares about others. :)
