We have had several birthdays this month and that means kids are growing UP!
Garrett, you are such and inspiration to us and to so many others as well. You have a great sense of humor and make people feel good about themselves. You are friendly, outgoing, and thoughtful. Our lives are more blessed because you are a vital part of our family and we thank God for your strength, honor and godliness. Our prayer is that you continue to grow in Him as you walk in His light! You are a young(man) of God. We love you.
Micaylah has just had a birthday and it’s so hard to believe she is nearly a ‘teen’. She is a gentle and kind-hearted young lady that loves God with all her heart. We can remember the day she was born and have watched her grow into a young lady who’s heart truly desires to seek God first and become all He has for her. You will do mighty works for the kingdom, Micaylah! We love you!
We have a special game we really enjoy playing at the end of the day. When we all go outside and the weather is nice, we play the running game. I know, it sounds almost too simple, but the kids love it to pieces.
Here's what we do:
*everyone takes a place near the caller (the one who calls out the spots to run)
*the caller names several places around the yard where the kids can run to
*after the caller says, "On your mark, get set, GO!"
*all the kids go running to each spot, in the order it was called out
*the first one back home-wins
One of their favorite places to place is one the rocks, next to the creek. The water is flowing and they have some of the most imaginative stories to make up. They always come back in pretending they were on some island or sailing on a ship. We love it!
