Nerf target practice is a fun family activity.

…come on, give ’em a try!

Trey has been wanting to buy a certain Lego Star Wars set but his allowance money from doing household chores hasn’t quite been enough. We suggested he as the neighbors if he could do some yard work for cash. Thanks to a recent storm, two of our neighbors had tons of pine cones littering their yard. They each paid him $3 to pick them all one. It was no easy task either – one yard took him over 30 minutes to clear!

There’s a huge field across the street from our house where Trey loves to go play in the evenings. Lately the crop (wheat?) has begun to grow so we’ve been staying out of it. Here’s a video clip of the last time I took Trey and his friend back there to play.

It’s hard to believe that 8 years ago today we heard the quiet but steady heartbeat of our son. He has grown so much, yet that heart continues to beat steadily – every minute of every day. What a miracle! Our Creator God is so great and so full of grace!
