Josiah celebrated his 12th birthday with a very large cake that was an unexpected gift from a friend. It wasn't actually for his birthday, but hey...what a blessing!
ChubChub learned how to ride his bicycle without the training wheels and he has been diligently showing friends, foes, and strangers alike his new-found talent. He's quite the guy.
Mean Ol' Mama has been taking advantage of The Girl's eagerness to practice her English reading. She doesn't mind entertaining her little bother...er, brother...at all!
We went preaching at some apartments in Thomasville over the weekend. ChubChub wanted to bring his guitar, too.
Josiah has started tilling one of his gardens for Fall planting. The tiller was a very nice gift from our Celebramos friends. We really enjoy the fresh produce.
He also wanted to show his favorite chicken, which is amazingly colored like his bass guitar.
Branch read aloud during Bible time, and it was such a joy to see his progress.
Even ChubChub "read" a part of the chapter. Interesting. Almost-four-year-olds have quite a unique understanding of God. Perhaps they're more on-target than the rest of us. Unquestioning faith.
Even The Girl was able to read a few verses. This was the first time all of us were able to participate in the reading. We're growing up!
Finally, Mean Ol' Mama enjoyed the following shot: directions in English in a Greek book answered in Spanish. Gotta love it.
We're very busy,working on projects, speeches, performances, school in odd moments, trying to keep everything in eternal perspective...
