Helping Hands

This boy loves to help with everything, and I love teaching him to help with everything. We make a great team, don't we?

And, of course, I love that being part of real life, feeling wanted and truly needed, and working hard and building character are all amazing things that result from many little moments just like these.

Thanks, Hunter. You're more precious than you can ever know.


"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him."

Carousel at the Mall

Today we went to the mall and rode on the carousel. Hunter was somewhat timid at first because of the riding motion but got used to it quickly and really loved all the paintings on the ceiling, which was decorated with pictures of some of our national memorials including Mount Rushmore, the Washington Monument, and the White House. He was eager to point out the ones he knew and was very excited about the paintings.

Of course, he really wanted to go again and ride on the panda bear, but at $2.00 a ride I had to say no. But we did get some ice cream afterwards. And after the mall and church, he was more than ready for his nap!

Dinosaur Puzzles

Got this puzzle set at the Goodwill the other day, and Hunter really enjoys it.

"Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created... Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps"
