Easton at childcare


Okay, so I just had to share this funny thing from Wednesday night...we have a Bible study that Jason and I go to every Wednesday night, so the kids go to childcare at the church each week. Elle sometimes has choir-but it is not going on right now, so they are just hanging out doing art, watching movies, playing on the playground, etc... And, we are there from 6:00-8:00 every week, so it is a while... Okay, so we picked them up and both of them were on the outside playground when usually the little ones are playing in the inside playground, but I guess the workers were just consolidating who all was left. Okay, so when we walked out one of the ladies was trying to catch Easton up on the top piece of equipment and you could tell that she was scared to death! He, on the other hand was having a BLAST! She couldn't catch him--his tiny little legs are FAST!! I walked straight out and said his name and "let's go"--he turned and came to me. She was relieved. She said, "We will NEVER come to this one again, he is so fast!" I told her that he is very coordinated and climbs all over our playground and jumps on the trampoline, etc... She said Elle was telling her that, but that her heart was pounding out of her chest. It was so funny and SO EASTON! (I wonder who he is going to be like??) :) So great!

Elle is 6!!!


This morning we woke up with a 6 year old daughter in our house! It is so crazy to think that Jason and I are old enough to have a 6 year old!! Elle is really turning out to be everything we have prayed for all these years. She started with such a scare, but such a purpose--to bring everyone together in prayer! She was so tiny--made so strong in His power! It has been so amazing to watch God mold her into such a sincere and nurturing angel. She is dramatic and over the top, but exciting and hilarious! She is beautiful and an absolute daily blast. I cannot believe how much she loves her little brother and how everyone kept saying that would change over the years and she would start being mean to him and the rivalry would begin--well, it still may come, but she has blessed us by loving Easton with the most incredible love I can imagine. I honestly feel like she is a great mixture of Jason and I both--our strengths and weaknesses, but a wonderful mixture...and his little mini me...which is awesome! She loves having that with her Daddy. She loves telling people that she has her Daddy's eyes...I hope that she will just continue to yearn for her Father's Heart.

Elle's going to play t-ball

Okay, so now she is finally interested in doing the one thing that Daddy loves!! So, we will see how this goes...I am praying that maybe she will just love it and want to learn more about it and that they will enjoy talking about baseball through this next season...Elle has struggled with coordination, so I know Jason will struggle with patience---so please PRAY!!!


God can do ALL THINGS!!!
