Thrilled about 5k

Griffin has been counting down the days for school to start.  When we pulled up for the open house he yelled "Mommy I am back at school!" I have never seen a kid love school so much.Above him is based on a book called Pete the Cat. His ABA therapist bought him this book two days prior to going to school. We read it several times over a 2day span and when we got to school and a whole board was dedicated to our new favorite book "Pete the Cat in his Rockin School Shoes". 

He is so independent it's scary. Made it easy for drop off but a little sad that he "thinks" he no longer needs me.

At least we are not at the point where he doesn't want to give me kisses:)

Putting his folder up just like all of his classmates.

He came home talking about a little boy in the class. He states that they played blocks and ran out side together. He even went as far as saying he loved this little boy:)  So exciting!  We can't wait to see him tackle all his 5k goals!

Conversation That Warms My Heart

When I got back from the Philippines it was late Saturday night. John Van picked me up from the airport we stopped and got me a Fast Food Meal.  Then headed home so that I could crash!
The boys stayed with Dee and Pops and they were going to drop them off after their Church got out.

When they came in the door they were so excited screaming MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY's Back!

When I sat on the steps. Griffin said "Mommy what did you do at the far away land?"
My response was "I got to clean lots of teeth for people that LOVE JESUS!"
Gray then jumped in and said "Like me mommy?" as he ran to show me the picture of Jesus that he colored in sunday school. My response "Yes Gray just like you."
Griffin then proceeded to tell me that he wants to go to the far away land with me next time.

Oh how I hope my boys will have a heart for missions.... How I hope they love Jesus and will always have a relationship with him! 
This by far was my favorite conversation yet!  So sweet to see my boys growing and learining more an more about Jesus.

Thank you Jesus Thank you.
