Reading...

Tonight was the first night this happened.
With no prompting of either parent, William got a book, invited Calvin to sit down, and read to him.

Be. Still. My. Heart



*And yes, you saw it right...They're both wearing Christmas jammies in Oct.

William's a teenager!!!

Image
Never ceases to amaze me how fast time flies by.  I feel like I write that with every single birthday post.  We've officially got a teenager in the house!  William has grown and matured into such a great young man.  He's a quiet, calm, patient and loyal person who knows how to work hard and is proving quite the thinker/creator.   We rented a tiny home in Hope, ID for a fun get away over the weekend and then he later had Sawyer, Kale and Jacob over for an overnighter to celebrate.  Little Ember decided to run off from the truck the moment we let her out at the tiny house.  William was the first to run after her, through muddy streams and all, until we caught her and brought her back.  We then experienced our first time getting to step onto a frozen lake!  There were multiple people ice fishing which was something I'd never seen before!

William wouldn't even look up for a picture... Just because it's fun to watch them be silly together... And I know these  two little faces won't be little forever. Needless to say, they were ripe.   I could hardly believe they had caught ...

Calvin's schoolwork

Image
 Some things I like to tuck away in a picture for funnies sake later in life (o;  The boys are learning who the Lord is and what that means in their lives and I'm so grateful we can afford to send them to a school that reinforces those values.   The part about Calvin bossing his friends around at soccer just cracked me up. And then his description of how God has shown his power in his life when his Great Grandmalita died...I asked him about this one and he didn't really have a great explanation.  Interesting. So thankful he loves church
