Olivia was super lovey tonight.  She had her Ellie and kept hugging her, hugging Doug, the girls and I, giving us kisses and hugs.  An abundance of 4 year old love.  Then when I put her to bed our conversation went something like this: Olivia: "Mommy, I love Ellie super bad."  Me: "We love you super bad."  Olivia: "Is Jesus in my heart Mommy?"
