A prayer for our dad

This is the first snow we have had this winter that you could really have fun in the snow. The kids were having a wonderful time. Chas showed them how to make snow angels and then they both made snow angels, Macy really liked it, Mark was loving laying in the snow kicking around his legs. Mark would run and laugh, I need to get the video camera out cause it's not the same without sounds sometimes. Sorry for they clothesline in the way, I was snapping these shots out the back door cause I was inside with Tyler.

I was on the phone the other day and all three kids were banging on the piano. I love it when they sit at the piano and they are so good to try include Tyler. When I'm practicing the hymns for Sunday they like to help and so I had to capture this moment of my sweethearts at the piano. I hope they continue to love the piano. I felt bad asking them to stop for a moment so that I could hear the person on the phone.

Macy got this bike from some friends that were very nice to give it to Macy. We don't have a very good spot at our house to learn how to ride a bike so we took her to the school parking lot. She had a wonderful time and Mark had a good time racing her. She didn't like that he could beat her, but we explained it wouldn't be long before she could go fast.

The other day I was watching Myles, Abby and Rachel. They are friends of Macy and Mark. I had them sitting at the table for lunch and Myles wanted to say the prayer, and Abby and Macy. So I said Myles could say it first and then Macy and then Abby. Myles said his prayer blessing the food then Macy said Abby could go first. Abby said a prayer that we could play nice with our friends. By then Rachel decides she would like to say a prayer and so Macy said she would help her. Macy told her to pray for our daddy's while they were at work. Rachel repeated. Macy told her to pray that our daddy's could come home safe and that we could take care of our daddy's. Rachel repeated everything just as told. Abby is getting hungry and sneaks a bite of food here and there while the others are praying. Mark is being very patient and waiting. So then I tell Macy it's her turn, even though she pretty much just had one. Well Mark decides he would like to say one and Macy said she would help him. He then decided he didn't want to. I told Macy it was finally her turn, She thought about it, got all ready and then said, "Mom, can't we JUST eat?" It was so funny. I said sure, that sounds wonderful, lets eat. But all in all I loved how much they were thinking about their dad's. I know they all love their dad's very much and enjoy spending time with them.
