Tidbits...

• My daughter pinches... that is, to go to sleep. Ever since she was able to control her little hands she would be nursing and reaching up to my neck and "pinch" until she fell asleep. Though the nursing has been left behind, the pinching certainly hasn´t. Another thing that hasn´t been left behind is wanting to be cuddled and snuggled with to go to sleep. So every morning when her nap time comes I must stop the running of the home and anything else, lay down next to her in our bed (that way I can sneak away once she fell asleep) and let her put her little arms around my face and, yes of course, pinch me until she falls asleep. Sometimes it doesn´t seem to be the most convenient way for her to go to sleep but it gives me a few minutes to be reminded of the most important things, love my daughter and sometimes (I must confess) even catch a few "zz´s" myself!
• My sweet husband came home last night with a surprise for me... he had gotten me the newest version of "Pride and Prejudice" intending to have a nice "P&P" sort-of-date-night-at-home. It was hard to get through the movie without comparing it to the first one I ever watched, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. So far, I think the new movie enjoys some advantages and I can´t say it isn´t a good movie. I think, though, that in an attempt to make it more "contemporary" and appealing to current audiences they did bring in some "subtle" changes in the character development that I don´t necessarily agree with. I don´t want to ruin it for those who haven´t seen it, so I´ll leave my comments here.
• We are believing the Lord of a home and we had a meeting yesterday to "cast out our vision" we are to be hearing about figures and possibilities some time (soon, hopefully) but I do realize this is one of those things that is just not going to happen in agreement with my expectations... you know, one of those times were my Father is going to keep stretching my faith and showing me His provision and faithfulness. I am excited to see what is in store for us in His heart... I wouldn´t mind if it were sooner than later, but I know He will deliver timely, even when His timing may not be the same as mine!
