"Let's talk about God..."

Everleigh and Andrew are both enrolled at Christian

Pre-Schools so both are experiencing new things

and hearings new stories.

The other day Everleigh, Briggs and I were sitting at

 lunch.  In her most serious voice, Everleigh

looked at me and said...."Let's talk about God."

....

So I said, "What would you like to talk about God?"

And she said, "Is he really Everywhere?"

So we had a brief talk about God being Everywhere

and He is always with us.  She wanted to know if he sees

Everything....and then I saw the wheels turning....

"He sees Everything?"  (as in all the good things

and all the bad things?)

And I said, "yes"...he sees and knows everything.

We can't always understand how he does this

but we have faith that he does.

A Revelation...

God can see when I'm naughty And nice.

hmmmm

Then, another day I'm with Andrew and he's

singing...."In the Name of the Father,

and the Son, and the Holy Spirit..."

in perfect preacherly chant.

Recently, the kids wanted to "wash" my car....

so why not?

Andrew (hidden in the "rocket"), Everleigh

and Briggs pretend Briggs' crib is a rocket ship.

Ethan and Everleigh like each other and often interact

in positive ways.  She has a lot of patience with him

and he loves all the attention.

Here, Everleigh and Andrew are playing a combination

of Thomas the Train and Littlest Pet Shops.

Everleigh took this picture....pretty good.

Briggsie Boy is 2!

Scott's son, Briggs, turns 2 today (Oct 8).  Only

2 years since his birth day and now we

can't remember what life was like without him.

This is Briggs and me on his first birthday.

And here we are a few days ago.

Briggs is a unique individual.  He does everything with

gusto....from his greeting ("Hi, Grandma Bunny!")

to his infectious laugh, he always gives everything he's got.

That's also why he's got a few bumps and bruises most

of the time.  He's always glad to see everyone and

isn't shy with his kisses and hugs.  His vocabulary

is extensive.  I don't think there is anything he can't say.

When I go in to get him out of his crib after his nap

and ask him how he is, he usually says, "Good!"

He's sweet to his sister, loves his daddy and

is a total mommy's boy.  I love his run....quick little

steps with one arm pumping on the side....full tilt.

He's getting loads of blond curls and has eyes

that will melt your heart....he'll be a total lady killer.

Happy Birthday....can't wait to

see what 2 looks like on you.
