So, I have a lot of catching up to do since the summer...But....had to get this one down! Retie and Bob came to visit us on Sunday on their way to Vermont. They bought an older, white, cargo-like van and converted it to their own personal camper. Very nice! But it is very funny and I make fun of them and call it the "kidnapper van." So, Brady went to school on Monday and told his teacher that his aunt and uncle came to visit and they were driving the "Murder Mobile." WOW! That had to have been some crazy rewiring that his brain did!!! You just never know what might come out of his mouth!!! :)

update on Brady's plans for the future....

First he is going to live in Hawaii while he is in the Navy.....Then when he retires, he is going to be a cowboy in the "Old West", then he is going to move to New York City, but he's not sure if he is going to live in Brooklyn or just plain New York City...................smile:)

Heart to Heart

Brady, on June 10th, was laying in the floor in Rachel's bedroom while Rachel and I were doing a devotion. He stopped us and asked me how does he make sure that he knows Jesus and goes to heaven. So Rachel and I answered a lot of his questions and just tried to help him put all the pieces together. He was very emotional, which was very surprising to me, and he said the sweetest prayer asking Jesus to come into his heart. With a child so young, it is hard to tell if they truly understand what they are doing....do they really mean it??? But what I do know is that my children and myself had a real heart to heart that night and I know that God was working in Brady's heart........in all of our hearts!

Happy 36th Birthday Daddy!

He just always gets sooo excited to blow out his candle! Just can't settle him down sometimes......

Still Dancing....
