I have long turned off the light in the kitchen for Charlotte. Laurel and Billy are in the living room with me and as I was praying i decided time called for candles. I am always superparanoid of candles (forgetting them light up and leaving the room or the house) but usually in the dark, as it is obvious, I recall it. 

i am thinking outloud and in silence too to God. Thanking Him profusely for this new found vocational feeling of life path. It is truly a new beginning of lifestyle changes due to the arrival of a new creature in our home and family: I love it.

Dear Father in heaven,

Thank you for all the Love and responsibilities with all our animals especially with the arrival of Charlotte. May she grow big and strong and wise and kind.  Please protect them all with long life and healthy life. May hubby learn the joys of raising youth together, from babyhood basically. It is a very special responsibility and I am blissfully aware of how hard it may get when she is a bit older too (around 1 and 2). It is all about implementing good healthy routine and habits and discipline at a young age. Then you avoid much much problems with huge dogs once adults.

Pardon my disgressing away from prayer just now Father in Heaven...

I wanted to thank you forever for this new life.

Amen.
