Benny Boy

I am having so much fun with my 31/2-year-old right now. It is just such a fun age. Lately he has been calling me "My Lady." For instance, the other day he asked me, "Will you draw with chalk with me My Lady." Who can resist that. Sometimes he also calls me mother. "Mother can I have another cookie." Josh is the only other one of my kids who calls me mother. For some reason that term just melts my heart. I am so grateful to be a mother!

I LOVE Paris!

I recently returned home from six days in Paris. It was amazing! To keep the story short, my mom retired from the airlines, so all McPhies can fly for virtually free. My sisters and I decided in January that we needed a break. My dad has been to Paris several times in the last two years and offered to accompany us as our tour guide. He also offered to pay for our hotel. Who can pass up a free hotel room and almost free flight to Paris? Anyway, I was nervous to leave the kids, but all was well and we had a terrific time. I highly recommend Paris in the springtime!
