My oldest son Adam is leaving for Mexico early in the morning. It is neat to see how much his siblings are going to miss him. Lost of hugs were given before everyone went to bed tonight. A few of them gave Adam a couple of dollars for his trip, and his sister Julia bought him a Monster at the store today so that he can get a boost of caffeine for his bright and early departure at 6:00 am.
Since this trip was not free, Adam helped out much more than he normally would so that he could honestly say that he earned his way.

Thanks Adam! We hope you have an amazing experience down there this week!
Dennis made this adorable mask last week at pre-school. He calls it his glasses. I bet Andrew wishes he had one too!

Alex made an antelope mask! He wore it while he ate cantaloupe!

One afternoon, I made Dennis and Alex hot chocolate and jam on toast.
It was interesting to see how Dennis devoured his toast first....

while Alex guzzled down his hot chocolate.

Since they both wanted more... I spilt Alex's toast with Dennis and gave Alex some of Dennis' hot chocolate. Problem solved.
Big Sister Anna put Andrew's shoes on Dennis. Of course Dennis loved it!

And of course Dennis tripped over his own two big feet right after I took this picture.

I have one that will eat all her meat first, she was used to having people steal her food in Liberia. and the other saves all the meat for last, he says it is the best part and he knows no one is going to take it!
My oldest son went to Uganda on a mission a few years ago, and, oh, how his brothers missed him! I have decided that all teens need to go to difficult places and get out of their comfort zone. I think it helps readjust their inner compass!
You are such an amazing mom! Toast and Hot Chocolate? My boys will be right over!
You're AMAZING! You inspire me to be a better person. I'm a new follower and thank you for letting me be a part of your journey!
