This one is about to crawl. She has taken a try at it several times, then face plants...it is just any minute she will be gone. She is pretty quick with her army/belly crawl, especially when motivated by Lego's or any other toy of her brother's she is not supposed to have. Katy bar the door, when she is mobile, we are going to be in trouble.
And this one is about to be grown. He took his little sister for a ride in his Gator the other day. He shielded her eyes from the sun, held her hand, and took very good care of her while he drove her around. Although she looks scared, she really liked it.
They are both getting so big. Mason is doing great with school. Things have seemed to really click since the holidays, he is coloring very meticulously, and able to communicate what they learned at school EVERY day. He tells me the letters, sounds, and combinations of sounds he learns, and what words go with those sounds. I think that is my favorite part of the day to see the pride and joy in his face as he remembers the words he learned. I am so proud of him. Anslee terrorizes him because he things she is going to druel on whatever she touches. It is a funny cat and mouse game with those two.
This one is loving being home with the kiddos!Our Sunday school lessons the past few weeks have been from Ecclesiasties. Solomon seemed to have written this book as a journal of observations and conclusions. He states several times that all his labor was for nothing and meaningless. It is our curse as man to toil and labor on the earth, Adam and Eve insured that. It is our choice however, to find joy in all things whether that be building homes, tending to the sick, teaching children, investing money, practicing law, mowing lawns, or collecting garbage. We all have a purpose to fulfill. We may not be satisfied with the place God has placed us, but we should be content in Him and serve in the capacity we can. FFH has a song called "Lead," that is my favorite right now. Take a listen if you can. Wisdom is what Solomon had, wisdom is what the Bible says we should seek. He concludes his book with, "Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Ecc. 12:13-14

thanks for the encouragement in verses...
That's funny what you said about Anslee terrorizing Mason by drooling on all his stuff...Matt freaks out about it too. He'll pick up one of his toys and say, "Oh no Momma Will got it all wetty!!" Or if I hand him back a toy that Will had he'll ask if Will put it in his mouth. I try to remind him that he did the same thing when he was a baby but he doesn't seem to sympathize. :)
Anslee sure does have that deer in the headlights look down! :) I'm just glad the blue eyes are here to stay!!!
