Sarah having a little summertime fun
Joe is inlove with his lamb's wool
Paul - the deep sleeper sleeps under the stars. I thought it was funny that the boys wanted to sleep directly on the ground. They were spread out all over the front yard hill.
Though a little dark you can see the project has expanded quite a bit.
They are becoming good friends. She calls him gohnny.
6th birthday. He tries on a few of his gifts.
Sarah is wondering what this is all about. John just wanted swords for his birthday. He eats, drinks, and breathes swords.
Is it really August? We have a lot of school scheduling to finish before three weeks. A trip to Myrtle Beach is scheduled for the 8th of September. In the meantime we have been cooling off in the half-dug lake which is now put on hold for a while. The kids have a canoe they go about in and even I have sat on the muddy beach area with imaginations of the future sand that will be at my feet. Though muddy and unfinished it has provided great summer entertainment. The muddy tubs and clothes I definitely could do without. We had a new family come over for lunch last week from the church we just visited and whether we revisit the church or not we have made new friends.
- John and Paul's birthday were celebrated with a new birthday breakfast idea that we plan to make a tradition. (they seem to really like traditions and routines sometimes) A breakfast of their choice with special dishes, candle, and whatever comes to mind decor along with the gift is placed on the table before they wake. It seems to start their day knowing they are loved and appreciated. We still do the cake and birthday dinner later but the breakfast puts a definite smile on their face first thing.
- We spent this past weekend searching for an 8 passenger vehicle for our family of 8. We ended up with a Ford Expedition that sits 9. We are really enjoying the comfort we have now when everyone is together. Nothing else new besides the daily yearning in our hearts for the Lord's purpose, presence, and work to be seen in our lives. Even when we can't always see we trust He is working.

Hey... You're alive after all!
Didn't end up customizing the mini-van, huh? Our big Chevy is still kickin'. We just replaced the altenator and in the four years we've had it that and the fuel pump have been the most major expenses (everything else is routine maintence). They are definitely built to last. We figure if we have yet another little one we will spend the money to customize it rather than buy something else. OH gosh, I'm so not ready to be pregnant again. God, do you hear me? Okay okay... in your time.
Miss you guys,
~K~
Glad you found a vehicle. Our Exp seats 8 and we lvoe it, despite having a tiny trunk.
Let's do a lake trip SOON - before it gets too cold.
God Bless.
