Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do something about it. But I'm afraid God might ask me the same question.

Growing up before my eyes..

Our girl will start 1st grade in a few weeks. She has officially left every bit of "baby-ness" in the dust. She has always been an old soul. She was a miserable baby, I knew from the second week of her life that she hated being a baby. She is a very serious kid, she's a realist. I am pretty sure she is the only 7 year old girl that has never seen any Disney movie, not for lack of me trying but she has ZERO interest. I have caught her watching the occasional Jetson's or classics of the sort, but it is rare. I walked in the house the other day and she was full on engrossed in Shark week, you couldn't tear her away. I just let her be. She doesn't do much dress up, has never been into pretend play, but she will dress up with Mina. We don't call her Mama-2 for nothing. She could surely take over all house hold duties if we let her. I bribed her to let me take these photos by promising that she could help me fold laundry. I know, I have no idea where children like this come from. And then something happened, something we see very rarely around here. When we see it I LOVE it, I let her stay up 2 hours past her bedtime the other night,,, why, because she was acting goofy, girl is never goofy. I can't believe I caught it on film. If you have ever met Kobi, I doubt you have ever seen this face. Serious is her M.O. Look at all those teeth coming in... hysterical.

How Funny! When my Seth was 5, he was the only child I knew whose favorite actor was Gregory Peck and asked to watch "The Guns of Navarone" the first thing every morning before breakfast! Yes, they grow up too quickly.

She is go funny. My favorite memory of her is when we came to Florida to visit at the end of 2004 and the seagull stole her sandwich right out of her hand. I'm hoping to find the pictures from that day before we come it is to funny!
