Waking up on his 4th birthday, Silas asked, “Did my voice change?” He so badly wants to be a teenager! Apparently it’s the magic age where he’ll be allowed to do everything he’s ever dreamed of. The next thing Silas wanted to do was to be measured on our giant growth ruler. He was convinced… Read More Someone Had a Birthday
The other morning Silas wanted to sing me a song while “playing” the piano. Here is his rendition of Jesus Loves Me. Cooper joined in with the obligato on the chorus.
Needing some artwork done? Silas Clark has got you covered. Here are some of his recent drawings of Superman’s villainous enemies. He copied the colors from his board book about Superman. Silas can even sign his name. The letters may be jumbled, but they’re all there (with an extra ‘s’ thrown in as a bonus)!
Silas loves superheroes–just in case you hadn’t noticed. And while superheroes, make-believe, and imagination are fun, the truth about Jesus is the most important thing we could teach our boys. Our church’s Kids4Truth Club is helping us do that. This month Silas began his adventure in the Discoverers class on Wednesday nights. Last night he… Read More Learning Truth
The desert summer heat isn’t over yet, but summer vacation is (at least for all those school kids). Here’s a little photo recap of some of the things we’ve been up to. We’ve been on the go so much this summer that it passed quickly this year–which was unusual. June was filled with swim lessons, vacation… Read More Keeping Busy This Summer
Grandma’s a good sport. She got a lesson in “Grandma 101” (as my sister Charis put it) from Silas during her visit with us. Silas was just being his usual precocious self, but it was at Grandma’s expense! After helping Silas get cleaned up in the bathroom, Grandma put his dirty underwear in the “whites”… Read More Silas Says…
Even though I’m just 3 1/2, I went to my first Vacation Bible School a few weeks ago. My church was having a free VBS for kids, and the theme was Arrow Island. I got to be in the four and five year old class with Miss Roseanne. Miss Roseanne is a missionary to Haiti,… Read More My First VBS
It’s summer, and the triple digits won’t let us forget it. We had a mild May, and this heat has kind of taken me by surprise. We’re melting! At least it still cools down overnight, but that won’t last. Silas began the summer with swimming lessons at the Goodyear pool. Last summer, he was too… Read More Summer’s Here!
A friend once told me that she calls her children her “joy babies.” Children are treasures, and gifts from God. When God gave us Silas, so much joy entered our lives. What a thrill to find out we were pregnant, and announce it to Stephen. We were blessed to tell our parents and grandparents about… Read More My Joy Baby
How far is it from Phoenix to Fort Collins? Very, very far! But worth it. At the end of March we loaded Stephen’s Vibe, strapped the boys into their car seats, and began the long trek to visit David and Tammy in Wellington, Colorado. Although it was tight, Stephen did a great job packing all… Read More Colorado Road Trip
