Super Powers

So a short while ago we were having an important conversation with the kids.
It was about the super powers that we as parents have.
You know, like the really cool things such as eyes in the back of our heads.
Yes, our kids (minus Esther I believe) really think that we have eyes in the back of our heads.
I've heard numerous conversations between Caleb and Anna in the back of the van that go something like this:
"I can't wait till I get older and I'm a Dad" says Caleb.
"Yeah, me too, I can't wait to be a Mom either." responds Anna.
"Then we can finally see what's going on behind us! Mom and Dad are so lucky!" they both agree with each other.
Anna seems to think about our extra set of eyes quite often, as lately she's even been "testing" us and asking us on the spur of the moment,
"Hey Mom, what's behind you right now? And don't forget to use your special eyes!" or "Dad, who's walking behind you?" (thankfully we've been able to answer her questions without looking behind us - using other "clues" to give her the right answer).
What kind of super-powers have you convinced your kids you have?

Just Another Day at the Park

With the weather starting to turn a little cooler - we'll try to enjoy a few more outings at the park - which all 4 kids still love doing!

Not as easy as it looks

Almost there

Ahhh...done!

Now the fun begins

Look Who's Walking!

Happy 6th Birthday Caleb!!


At the end of August we celebrated Caleb's 6th birthday!
You've grown up so fast Caleb - and are such a wonderful part of our family!
Your love for everything "creepy crawly" is neat to watch - your love and gentleness with Sara makes our heart melt - as does your dimply smile :)
May God be with you in the next year in all you do - and continue to be a blessing for everyone around you!
