Kaleigh really misses her friend Hazel, who moved to Virgina last month. Kaleigh doesn't know how to write yet, so we made a video of what Kaleigh wanted to say to Hazel with mommy's help. Maybe instead of pen pals they could be video pals.

Small Conversation about Heaven
Sometimes kids say the darndest things out of the blue. Shortly after reading about Hazel's discussion about where she was born with Kari, Kaleigh and I had this small conversation:
Kaleigh: Mommy where's Jesus?
Me: (Surprised) What?
Kaleigh: Where's Jesus?
Me: In heaven with Heavenly Father.
Kaleigh: I want to go to heaven with Jesus.
Me: You do?
Kaleigh: (Nods) I want to be with Jesus and Heavenly Father. I don't want to be here. I don't want to go forward. I want to go back.
Me: (Not sure I heard the last part right) Kaleigh say that again.
Kaleigh: I don't want to go forward. I want to go back.
Me: (Uh-huh?) Well, one day Kaleigh, mommy, daddy and baby Jacob will all live in heaven together.
Kaleigh: (Gives a big smile and giggles) Yeah!
Then she goes back to watching T.V.
Kaleigh: Mommy where's Jesus?
Me: (Surprised) What?
Kaleigh: Where's Jesus?
Me: In heaven with Heavenly Father.
Kaleigh: I want to go to heaven with Jesus.
Me: You do?
Kaleigh: (Nods) I want to be with Jesus and Heavenly Father. I don't want to be here. I don't want to go forward. I want to go back.
Me: (Not sure I heard the last part right) Kaleigh say that again.
Kaleigh: I don't want to go forward. I want to go back.
Me: (Uh-huh?) Well, one day Kaleigh, mommy, daddy and baby Jacob will all live in heaven together.
Kaleigh: (Gives a big smile and giggles) Yeah!
Then she goes back to watching T.V.
