This one's for you Dutch!

My brother and sister in law are teaching English in Busan, Korea this year. They were able to meet Caleb just before they left. My brother loved how much hair Caleb has and wanted to put some "goo" in it and style it. I did it the other day and her is our bud, it was much more noticeable in person though. How hilarious are my son's faces? And thank you Burdetts for sending this fun outfit!!! :)

Blessings and Forgiveness

3 stories from my Caeden

This morning Caeden was in a time out in his room. I went to check on him and said, are you ready to obey? He responded, "No........... but I am blessed." As I was leaving the room he said "bless Jesus over me." I lost it, I started laughing and well yep he broke the ice from being in a time out. I sure am glad that my son knows he is blessed!!

Then later this morning we were reading his children's Bible. We were reading the story of Joseph and how he had brothers that weren't very nice to him and even though they sold him to Pharoh Joseph ended up forgiving his brothers. At the end of the story it asks the parent to share a time they were hurt and forgave someone, so I did. Then they ask the parent to ask the child if anyone has ever hurt them. So I did. He looks at me and says, yeah YOU have hurt me. Shocked by his response I said oh when? He told me one day he was spanking my bottom and I got mad at him and that hurt his feelings. I asked if he was able to forgive me for hurting his feelings and he said yes. Wooo good to know he understands hurts and forgiveness.

On Saturday night we were at church and the pastors daughter wasn't feeling very good. Caeden prayed for her to feel better. I love that my son knows the power of prayer and isn't ever afraid to pray.

I am so grateful that all of my time at home has helped Caeden know the truths of God's Word!

Mr. Nemo has already died

Well, I woke up to feed Caleb around 4 am and looked into the boys bathroom to find a dead Mr. Nemo. I couldn't fall back to sleep for quite sometime because I was so concerned on how Caeden would respond when he woke up. Luckily the whole family was up at 6 am so we made it a family affair, and said goodbye to Mr. Nemo and flushed him down the toilet. Later this am Caeden and I were putting stars on his chore chart and there was a spot for feeding Mr. Nemo and he looked at that and said, "well, he's dead," and looked at me like what do we do about our chart now? He might have died from over eating one day or under eating for the last few weeks or who knows maybe it was due to a heart attack from Caeden trying to catch him twice. I think we might give it one more go though. :)

I love my family!

Here are my precious boys cuddling together as they do most days and it just warms my heart to be at home with them and watch them interact together! Thank you daddy for making the money for me to be at home! I still can't get over the fact they look so very different and were created by the same God with the same parents, so fun!!
So I was in Children's Place, put this hat on the munchkin and couldn't pass it up!! He likes hats too, didn't complain one time about it the whole day!!
Yes, Caeden is in a matching tie and the ooohhhing and ahhhhing comments around church were many. It sure made this mama's day. Not that you try and dress your kids for the comments but I do love when they come. How hilarious does Caleb look? He is one crack up of a kid! Oh and Caeden woke up on Sunday and let me know it was "Resurshrekin" Sunday and when we got back into the car after church he kept yelling Jesus is Alive and throwing his arms in the air. Too cute for words that little one!!
