FlowDers

Kate has brought me a flower or two before with Claire's prompting. But this time was all her own doing. She was outside while I was in the kitchen and she came running in with this handful of wildflowers. It was so sweet, and she had the most angelic look of happiness on her face. She had thought of me all on her own, without anyone's prompting. She said, "FlowDers, Mama!" All her words that end in er also contain a d. ShowDer, FlowDer, ClairDer. Such a sweetie!

Sam's Debut

Sam joined the sign art group at church that Claire has been participating with, and last Sunday was his debut.

Praying before they sign.

I'm happy for Sam to be sharing his love of God in this way. I was really surprised when he wanted to join, but I am thankful that he has a boldness in sharing his faith.

Eggs, Candy, Prizes

Ready for the egg hunt at church!

Lots of candy to get out of these eggs.

Claire found plenty too!

Showing me her blue marshmallow egg

Claire won a prize basket!

Kate did too!....With a monkey in it. How appropriate!

S'mores

It was really hot!

Gettin' his sugar buzz on.

It takes some deep thinking to toast a marshmallow, apparently.

Sam had a friend stay the night last weekend, so we built a fire in the pit and made some s'mores. It was kinda balmy that night for a fire, but the sweat was worth the dessert.
