Wisdom from Sam

Sam has been practicing his handwriting a lot this week, and we have a ways to go. The other day he was getting frustrated when he asked me if he could be alone for a minute. I, of course, thought he was stalling. Instead he told me he wanted to pray about it. Why didn't I think of that???? So we prayed together and finished the writing session in much better moods. Now we have been praying before we start. We teach the kids to pray about everything, even the little stuff, and they do. Why don't we?


We've been having a fun week. Some cousins sent us some hand-me-downs, which was such a blessing and the kids loved trying it all on. We've also had two cousins visit for farm play days. There are many baby calves to see and the fishing is good too. Sam has discovered crawdads, and catching those is more fun than fishing.
Here is Eli last week at the park. He wasn't really big enough last fall to climb much, so he had a great time rediscovering the park. He went down this slide fast...and head first!
