Once you see how cute they are you’ll know why I can’t resist writing about them. My two boys are quite simply the delight of my life. I love to hear their laughter and watch them play together. It brings me so much joy to watch them as they discover new things and master new skills. What a blessing and a privilege to be able to stay home with them. My husband and I are so thankful to the Lord for His provision in this – and it is such a gift.
My parents have been visiting for the past two weeks. We visited a fancy hotel and took some great pictures on the beautiful grounds.

We went to the zoo and fed the giraffes and played at the children’s playground.

Our two-year-old was introduced to painting. These paints are fabulous – they are non-toxic and washable and the tip is made of a heavy felt that will not tear. No brushes, water, or bowls required.

| Great job painting! |

Playing at the park was so much fun. Our big boy spent time on the slide, swings, and climbing all over the jungle gym. It was also our big boy’s first time to see and feel rain.

We celebrated my Dad’s birthday and enjoyed a visit from Aunt Vada and her granddaughter, our big-boy’s second cousin.

One of our family’s favorite outings was a trip to the pumpkin patch where our two-year-old had his first pony ride in his giraffe hat, and he got to bounce on a trampoline with daddy. He also picked out all four pumpkins that our family brought home as a momento of our visit to the farm.
