Priorities

A compilation of Kaitlyn's priorities this year as demonstrated in snippets of conversation: Evan asked, "Daddy, will you come upstairs and watch me ride buckaroo?" "I can't. First thing I have to do is mow the front yard." To which Kaitlyn replied, "well, the first thing I have to do is dogpile mama."

Or this: "Do I have the same stuff [on my plate] as Evan?" "Does it matter?" To which Evan, who has identified the direction of this conversation, replies, "Yes, it matters."

Or this conversation with Kaitlyn immediately after learning that we are having another baby: "Can I hold it? ... Mama, what am I gonna wear to the hospital when this baby is born?"
