Big J grew out of his fire engine slippers this week. For those of you who saw him with them, you know he loved them. I went to the "store" and found a new pair. By store I mean the box of shoes to grow into in the top of Big J's closet. Thanks to the O's and the W's hand-me-downs and Grandmommy's new ones she has sent, he has a little "store" I can shop at as his feet grow. Today I looked into the box and saw that he had slippers that are a little big, but will work. They have footballs on the toes that light up when he walks. Let me tell you, there has been lots of running and jumping and tapping of toes this morning! He didn't even want to get in his chair for breakfast (a huge shock) because he couldn't see his toes. We'll have to see if he takes them off to play outside or go to the Cedarville baseball game tonight...hey at least he is dressed today, right?
Slippers are pretty important. I am pretty sure Erik wore his slippers more than regular shoes around our college campus a few years ago. Now Matthew loves slippers too, even when it is 90 degrees! His feet must be covered at all times. I'm so glad you have your "store" handy for important times like these!
Snug loves life. At eight years old, he is a big brother four times over, a role he takes very seriously. He loves to read, swim, run, play Legos, and hear stories. He is sensitive to the needs of others and has a very kind heart.
Little Monkey Man
Watch out world! This middle child is not about to be left out of anything! Formally known on this blog as "Baby J" he is a baby no longer. His sense of adventure is downright dangerous and he will push your buttons all day long. This six year old is very generous and has a sweet smile that will light up a room. Don't let him use his "eyes" on you or you may fall under his spell!
Rosebud
Four years old and quite the little lady. Not sure what we'll do with all of her emotions, but loving watching her grow. She loves ballet, preschool, and church and all of her friends-both real and stuffed variety.
Sweet Pea
She's three! Hard to believe how fast time goes by. She's my girl and she's demands lots of my love. Growing, changing, and making us all laugh (and scream...not gonna lie), this little one is so precious.
Baby #5
Oh this baby. Easiest one, cheeriest one. Laid back, happy, sweet.
