According to Ava....

Ava is at such a precious age right now. Her little mind is soaking up and reflecting on the world around her. She has especially taken to learning new praise and worship songs or making up her own. This morning at church Andre played her two favorites right in a row. As soon as she recognized the songs, her eyes would get huge and she'd look at Nathanial and say "Daddy, I know this one. It's 'You never let go," or "'Sing, sing, sing." Well as the other songs started, she'd listen and sing for a while, then whisper something to her daddy. Nathanial would get a big smile. This happened for each following song. Ava was making up titles for each of the songs she didn't know. So, according to Ava, we sang at church this morning:


Oh no you never let go
Sing, Sing, Sing
Love and Cheers for Jesus
Jesus died on the cross to save the world
Jesus makes our hearts feel better
and
Jesus loves the world
It was so precious to see her think deeply about the songs, cup her little hand around her mouth, and whisper in her daddy's ear.

Her are some pictures from Minnesota of Ava performing her own music and choreography.

Sweet girl. Children are so open to listening and rejoicing! It reminds me I need to do the same. I hope she doesn't ever loose that passion.

Your girls make me smile! I love her dancing pics! That last one looks like she is standing in front of a mural of clouds...they are so bright and clear almost too good to be "real".

Awww! How cute! Braylee's favorite worship song right now is "Mighty to Save" except she keeps singing, "Jesus conquered the BRAVE" instead of grave! ;)
