July ONE
The First Day of July!
Rebekah was crying because she wasn't holding the kitten. So...
That's a good little cat.
His name is Steel.
On this first day of July, Dad went to a birthday party for a coworker. I got the babies in bed early after a long week of VBS! and wanted to enjoy the finally-not-sweltering-temperature outside, so the 2 big 'uns and I walked down to the pond, which is just in the back yard.
Now I am really not good at getting the hooks out and this guy had gotten 2 of them stuck in the corner of his big mouth. After a few minutes, I started to worry that I was gonna kill the thing by having it out of the water and not being able to get the hook out, so I started praying to myself about it. I didn't even realize I was talking out loud. Elizabeth asked me who I was talking to, so I explained that I was asking God to help me get the hook out and that the fish not die, and I continued working with the hook and with the prayer. Finally it came loose! Whew! Thank you, God! - Thank you that I did not forget to thank you when the little ears were listening! - Then Elizabeth said, "Wow, God sure is strong, isn't he?" And that, my friends, was the BIG catch of the day!
Then David got my camera and had himself a good time.
There was lots of giggling as he took a few self-portraits
and then turned the camera around to see his picture.
Then I told them I'd take some goofy pictures of them together.
Wow, that turned out to be a good evening!
See how the kids are growing every month here!
