Lots of photos from the past couple of months! The weather has been beautiful and we spend every day, all day outdoors! The kids are growing and changing everyday, I just can't seem to grab ahold of time and make it stand still!
"Mommy, you know how Daddy was in the army and he got the bad guys? Well, you know I want to go in the army too when I grow up, but do you think that Daddy got all the bad guys already or will there still be some for me to get?" - Blane (this of course led to a great conversation surrounding sin and the fallen world in which we live. I was able to reassure him that there would be plenty of bad guys left for him, that is, until Jesus returns!)
"Mommy, do you know why I wear this cross necklace? Because it reminds me that Jesus died for me and I want others to see it and remember too!" - Blane "Yea, and do you know why I wear this sharks tooth necklace? Because it reminds me that God loves sharks too!" Gavin
Several weeks ago we studied Jewels in school. We learned that Jesus is our greatest treasure and He is more precious to us than jewels. So this week the boys made "jewels" by coloring paper with marker in different colors, then crumpling it up. Then my entrepreneurial minded Blane decided he could sell his jewels to kids on our street. So one afternoon he went from house to house, telling neighbors that he made jewels to remember that Jesus is our greatest treasure and would they like to buy one for $.10. The boy sold quite a few!!
