Flowers from Daddy

The vase on Tori's dresser is half-empty. "Where did the flowers go that Daddy gave you?" "I gave them away. To Mrs. Ski, and Kylie, and Cathy, and Julianna, and the Cleaning Ladies, and Becca, and Sarah." So blessed am I to have a little girl who is generous and good. Oh wait, I am triple blessed. Thank you, God for my three little girls.

Daddy rules!

"Daddy rules with a green thumb and an iron fist." Daughter #1

"Does that mean we can get more plants?" Daughter #2

Something that starts with Q
