So sweet!

In all the craziness that is our daily lives there are moments, brief glimpses if you will that we are doing something right... below is a message from a substitute teacher for Evan's Sunday School class last week...

I was in Evan's SS class yesterday and I just wanted to share with you how incredibly kind and loving he was.  We had a special needs child, Sean, in class yesterday.  Evan reached out to him several times.  It was really amazing!  Very special.  You would have been so proud of him.  I was for sure!  And he said a precious prayer!

Hope your summer is off to a good start!

On Wednesday nights early last year one of Avery's teachers remarked how sweet & caring he was - there were some of the children who would just cry and cry because their parents had left and Avery would take them toys and talk to them to try and make them happy.

There are also moments between the boys that just make my heart melt. Today I asked Evan to help Owen get his underwear & shorts on - Evan did that and pointed out the Avengers to Owen and Owen started shooting his Iron Man bullets and Evan just started giggling - so fun to watch!

I am so very proud (not all the time, but much of it) of the people they are becoming!

The things they say...

Evan "Mommy when I grow up I want to a Lego expert!"

Had to laugh yesterday... I took the boys to see a $1 movie and there was a life size poster of the new Lone Ranger & Tonto and Avery points to Tonto and says "Look! There is Captain Jack Sparrow!". They haven't seen the movies, but they have met Captain Jack Sparrow at Disney the last two years and they have gotten on stage with him to learn to be pirates. Thought it was hysterical that in different make-up, a different character he as still recognizable.

Evan's conversation this morning with Alex... Evan "daddy i have a surprise in my pants for you"-- Alex - now i'm worried.

Avery loves to help me in the kitchen this morning he pushed down the press on the French press coffee for me - he remembered he had to do it very slowly. When he was done I told him he had done a great job and that he was a good helper. He said "I actually is". Confidence is obviously not a problem for him ;o)

So impressed with my hubby, Alex Lind. I left him with three boys and come home to discover he had made green eggs and ham to celebrate Dr Seuss' birthday.
