Summer is going by too quickly. I enjoy it more and more every year as the boys get older. Just watching them take it the summer days and seeing what stuff they get in to is such a joy. I anticipate many more years of fun at our place. And probably lots of injuries as well !
Ben got stung the other day. Apparently there was a bee in the pool. They came inside and told me about the bee. I said "don't worry about it, it'll be fine" (thinking it was probably just a fly) moments later Ben starts screaming! Ok so it WAS a bee! I should have known he would play with it, Ben loves bugs! He didn't cry long. He cries longer about having to take a bath, then the bee sting!

I tried getting cute photos at our garden shed. I guess it would have helped if they'd cooperated!

Adam helping with garden stuff....as long as the attention span allows...

The twins are always doing strange things with each other. This one is their latest...We call it "belly kissing".

I have this daily inspiration booklet, given to mothers at church on Mother's Day a few years ago. Right now it's turned to this one and i like it....

Dear Father, Thank you for the privilege of influencing these dear children. Forgive my failures, fill me with wisdom, and keep us forever close to you in Jesus. Amen.
