Deep thoughts from a three year old

So the other night Asher came home from AWANA and said, "Today I learned that God made women from ribbons." How cute is that :), so we talked about what ribs were. That night as we were putting the boys to bed we noticed one of the fish in their new tank had died. It happened to be one Ethan had picked out, so he was pretty upset. We got the net, took the fish out and sang "Goodnight my fishy, put angels all around the toilet..." (a new version of the song we sing before bed, "Goodnight my Father, put angels all around my bed...") Then Ethan flushed it. As soon as it was gone he burst into tears and was just sobbing, poor guy. As we calmed him down talking about the life span of fish Asher piped up, "It's okay Ethan we can just pray and God can take a rib and make a new fish for you." It's so funny to think what life must be like from their point of view. After talking about what would happen if all the fish in his tank die, if all the fish in the stores died, if all the fish in the lakes and oceans died, etc. We finally had to tell them JUST GO TO SLEEP!



Timothy is growing fast. He's so sweet! The poor guy has to have surgery to repair a inguinal hernia this coming Monday.

Asher just turned 3. Happy Birthday, little guy!!!

Wonder Will

I thought it was time to put up an encouraging update about my nephew Will Armstrong...He's doing great! I am so inspired watching their family walk through his journey with leukemia. I just watched this You Tube clip of Will's Story, it brings me to tears and does an aunt's heart good to see how far things have come. I'm thankful he comes running up at mom's group saying hi, that our kids can enjoy each other so much during playdates and AWANA. God is good!!

School Days

We just started doing preschool and the kids are loving it. We're trying out the Sonlight Curriculum. Suddenly there aren't enough hours in the day. We're doing a homeschool co-op one day a week where Ethan and Asher take art, gym, spanish, drama, music, and recitation. They're so excited about it. They are also doing AWANA with their cousins, Will and Katie. Then there's Mom's group and Sunday School... There're loving life and all the excitement.

So Glad You Came

We were so excited that Beth and her boys could make it out for a visit. We managed to get some good chats in, definately harder to do with lots of kids! We had fun keeping the kids busy, cramming in as much quality cousin time as possible. Love you Beth!!!
