Brothers goofin' around

Even though Logan is not even a year old, he so badly wants to wrestle and play with his big brother.  Daniel is his favorite person in the world.  I am praying that God will knit their hearts together and that their relationship will be blessed throughout their whole lives.  I love these two so much! 

Mighty Hunters

Daniel went on his first hunting trip with his Daddy, and it was quite successful!  When Brian woke Daniel at 6 a.m. to go turkey hunting, Daniel was not so sure about it.  However, he soon warmed to the idea, and they bundled up and took off into the cold, dark morning.  Within about 30 minutes of getting settled in the blind, Brian had shot their turkey! Hurray!

 The mighty hunters depart...

conquer their foe...

and return home!

The Children Are Tender

My mom's first novel, The Children Are Tender, has just been released by Ambassador International.  We are so proud of her and all the hard work and prayers she put into this book.  It is a blessing to us!  The fact that my mom and I are both teachers and both have a heart for children makes this book even more special to me.  You can find it at Amazon here. 

The local library hosted a book signing for her this past weekend.  Here are some photos from the event. 

First taste

I was doing laundry in the basement with Logan sitting in the basket.  Daniel wanted a popsicle out of the deep freeze, so I told him he could have one.  He squeezed into the laundry basket beside Logan with his treat, and this is what transpired next.  So glad I had a camera close by!

 Logan wants some! 

 

 His first taste of popsicle (lime no less)!

 Sour!

But he wants more anyway!

Happy Easter!

 Today...Easter 2013

We are praising the Lord for where we have been, where we are, and what is yet to come.  Most of all, we thank Him that imperfect people like us can walk with the Lord and spend eternity with Him in heaven because of the cross.  Happy Easter!   

So sweet!
