the park

Just a few photos from a random trip to the park, in the last couple of weeks, showing off Grant's favorite slide ;) We love the park but it is almost to the point where I dread taking him, or even walking through when we're going for a stroll, because he screams when we don't stop or when we are playing there and have to leave. I am ready for this phase to pass!

the hunt

I think we waited until the coldest day we've had yet to go on our great Christmas tree hunt! Grant liked the smaller trees, the ones more his size. We didn't waste any time finding the "perfect" tree for fear our fingers would freeze before Frank got it chopped down.

Dad & his little helper making the tree fit just perfectlyAlso, here is #24 of the 31 Biblical Virtues to pray for your kids.

A servant's heart. "God, please help my children develop servants' hearts, that they may serve wholeheartedly, as if they were serving the Lord, not men" (Eph. 6:7).

Have a great week everyone!

Thanksgiving weekend

We had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving including a fun time at an indoor water park with Frank's family over the weekend. Grant absolutely loved the water and enjoyed going down his first water slide by himself, countless times...of course we missed getting any pictures of that!
