Michael Saying Grace

Okay, this is totally for all the Grandparents!!! His prayer was so cute that I asked him to do it again on video. Just click the play button on the picture below!

Off to India

John leaves today for India for 9 days! This is the longest span of time that we have been without him and the kids are a little sad. I wanted to share the story that Walker wrote at school today about his Daddy going to India. It is so sweet.....it made me cry (surprise, surprise)! You will probably need to click on the pictures to actually be able to read them.

Totally different subject but Michael's class has this bear (Button Bear) that they are taking turns taking home for the night. They have to draw a picture of what they did together and send it in for a book his teacher is making about their adventures. Michael and Button Bear worked on a puzzle together.

Derby Race!

Walker had his first Cub Scout Pinewood Derby race today. Michael got to participate too in the siblings category. The boys did a great job making their cars with John and had fun picking out the designs and painting them. I think things like this are so fun b/c they create great memories of special time with Dad (John still has his Derby car he made when he was little). Walker won first in show for his group for car design and also came in second place for time. Michael came in second for time and only missed 1st place by .003 seconds in his group - definitely a photo finish!
