This group is getting smaller, as some of the families are choosing to send their children to public school for high school. But we still enjoy our time together, even in our smaller ranks. And the high school aged children who were there yesterday, we enjoyed tremendously.
The biggest shock for me was seeing a canoe go by, looking up, and seeing, not Big Kids, but Smidge and two little girls his age maneuvering the thing across the lake. What?!? The BABIES are using the canoe? *sigh* Yes, they don't stay babies very long.
John made an alcohol stove at Scouts this week, and he's been dying to show it off. So, last night, we hunkered down on the front porch and he set it up.
But just boiling water isn't that interesting. So he chopped vegetables, added spices, and made us a pot of soup. It was fantastic!
No, they sure don't stay babies for long. Even if they'll always be "my babies", I can't help but enjoy the growing up process, as well.
Kiss those babies!

Jase is just too darling! And I'm very impressed by the burner/soup!
Fun stuff! How cute is Jase with that little wisp of hair sticking up? Your children are all so gorgeous, Dy. You know I'm a sucker for those big brown eyes.
Smidge! In a canoe! I can't wrap my mind around that. :)
What a great Mom ~ you notice the really good stuff!
Blessings to you all,
Pamela
