Trevor and I have been blessed beyond measure with our two boys. We are thankful and humbled to be given the awesome responsibiliy of raising them into God fearing men. "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Pr. 22:6. Please pray that we train them accordingly as we journey through parenthood. Lane is four now and has very naturally taken on his big brother role. He watches out for Luke, which is really helpful. Throughout the day I hear, "Mama, Luke's on the table, in the trash can, in your closet", or "Luke took his diaper off", etc. Spare time these days is rare, but they're so much fun. We hope everyone enjoys seeing the boys and we'll try to keep it updated frequently.

A New Fashion Trend?

I'm trying to encourage Luke to dress himself. He's also potty trained now and doesn't always get his pants back on. Having said that, he also will not stand for me to go outside without him. Even if it's just to get something out of the car, as was the case here. This was his attempt to escape to the sandbox. I turned around to find him with boots on the wrong feet, and underwear not only backwards, but inside out too. Try that! He looked at me as if to say, "Mama, it's only the sandbox." I will interject a story about Lane here. A few days ago Lane wanted Nana to watch him do his lesson. I reluctantly agreed, foreseeing that such a distraction would prove counter-productive. He always coasts through identifying sounds and sounding out words by themselves. But at the end of each lesson, he has to read a little story. As soon as he sees all those words together, he sometimes shuts down. When he gets frustrated, he stops and says,"Let me get my brain turned on", and begins to maneuver imaginary gears and buttons on his head (sorry I don't have a video of this). After a few seconds of that, he presses one 'button' on the side of his head and declares, "Huh, this button doesn't work." Mama, who was doing her best to keep quiet, was doubled over laughing.
