Wow I love our boys!


I (Shannon) got to stay home with our boys yesterday because Heather was sick. I hated to see my amazing wife down for the count with a stomach bug but I really did enjoy spending a whole day with our two amazing children.


We got up early and watched Bob the Builder while we ate pancakes to start off the day. Then it was full throttle playing hard on the floor until Miles laid down and did his usual face rub into the night-night (blanket) letting me know he was ready for a nap. After Miles went down Will and I sat together and read a few books and then he played quietly while I attempted to catch up on the dishes and laundry. After the house work was caught up we played a bit on the porch (it was rainy so we couldn't go outside) and then when Miles woke up we had PB&Js for lunch. Will went down for his nap after that which gave Miles and I a little one on one time. We played with cars and trucks and books and all the kitchen utensils and crayons and everything else he could get his grubby little 14 month old fingers on! Soon he did the face rub again and we all got to rest for a while. Around 5 they were both up at it again. I cooked some scrabbled eggs, sausage and biscuits for dinner and taught the boys how to top a biscuit with just the right amount of butter and jelly. They wolfed it down and played hard until 7 when it came time to pick up toys and head to bed. After kisses, a bible story, more hugs and kisses, prayer and all the nightlights and music makers had been turned on I finally tucked them in for the night. We had such a great day! Wow I love our boys!


Kinda hard going back to work today but I am really glad that Heather is getting better. It made me think though; every child is such a unique amazing gift from God and there are so many little gifts all over the world without anyone to care for them. I pray that the Lord will stir up the heart of His people to see them, take notice, and do something to give them a home!
