Rozey Thorn Trees

 7yo: The last time we went to Lincoln Park Zoo we didn’t see any birds because of bird flu. Me: The birds flew away from the zoo? 7yo: No, the bird flu! Me: I wonder where the bird flew to. 7yo: Daddy! Me: The bird flew to his daddy? That’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard! 7&5yo: Daddy!… I’m incorrigible 😇

Aunty Mimi explained to my girls that since their middle names are Faith, Hope, and Grace, her new baby’s middle name should be Joy because we can use more Joy in our lives. Thalia asked why not Self-Control because we need more of that too.
