Can they always stay like this?

I wish I could hold on to this image forever.

First thing in the morning, Alex doesn't say much, I usually pick him up out of bed (rabbit and all) and set him at the table for breakfast. Once he has food in him, he starts moving, quickly.

Michael on the other hand wakes up playing the "what if" game. "What if all my clothes were dirty and I had to go to school naked..." I don't tell him that could be a reality since I do not have a Shirley!

They are growing so quickly.

One day Alex will really be this tall.

I treasure these sweet times of my children and their friends.

I love that we are raising a whole new generation of children who love the Lord.

One day this will be the church scattered.

I pray that they never lose their passion and their joy.

For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth. From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you. Psalm 71:46
