I told them I did not know about having a favourite among them, so it is unlikely they can discover anything.
Tonight I kissed them goodbye and told each "Sleep well my only one." Well it sounds much better in Hungarian.... There is one word for the "my only one" bit derived from the word "ONE." They looked at me funnily, and Misheel remarked, it is bad math, mom, there are three of us.
So I told them each separately again, "Sleep well my only one." I think they got it.
These pictures were taken after we arrived at Ulaanbaatar airport 5 a.m. on Easter Sunday after a whole day and night's travel, and were waiting for Mr S. to come and pick us up. Our flight was early, and he thought it would be late....

Sweet!
I happened to link to your blog from Daja's. I don't know if you have gotten an answer to your question about the "Serenity Prayer" but in case you haven't....
The Serenity Prayer is the common name for an originally untitled prayer written by the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr in the 1930s or early 1940s. You can read more about it at:

My youngest daugter, age 27, still asks me who my favorite child is! She has also started asking who my favorite grandchild is. I told her the one that is closest to me at the time. :-) She asked me if that was true of my children. "No," I answered, "that one would probably be my least favorite!"
I do love the phrase "my only one", though. I may just start using that term. :-) What is the Hungarian word?
My only one is "Egyetlenem" in Hungarian. Believe me, it does sound good. :-)
