My oldest son will be <b>ten </b>on Tuesday. I just can't seem to believe it. It shouldn't come as a surprise. He has gotten so tall and believe it or not his voice is already getting deeper. He is so handsome and kind and an amazing guitar player. And the thing I am most thankful for right now - he is still my snuggler. Thank goodness for Harry Potter books. He will snuggle up next to me and let me read to him for an hour or more when we have a chance.<br />
Jonathan at 10 years old:<br />
He LOVES guitar. Guitar is just his thing. He wakes up in the morning and plays guitar. He loves his lessons. He loves to look at guitars. Dream about guitars. And he can really wail on that thing. He amazes me. He got his first electric guitar for his birthday last year, so he has only been playing for a year - only taking real lessons since June. He is AMAZING!<br />
Jonathan is kind. This has always been one of his best qualities. He cares about others. He still worries a little too much, but his heart is so compassionate that he can't stop himself.<br />
Jonathan is silly. My favorite joke that he tells is "two drums and a cymbal fall down the stairs. Bud um bum." His smile will melt your heart.<br />
Jonathan is shy. He has always been very shy, but you wouldn't believe how he has come out of his shell in the last year. And if he is behind his guitar - you'd never know he had a shy bone in his body.<br />
Jonathan is an amazing brother. Kaitlin and Jonathan are really lucky to have this kid. I wonder if they realize it?<br />
<br />
As he turns ten - what are my prayers for Jonathan?<br />
I pray that God makes his faith his own - that he will begin to own his faith independently.<br />
I pray that God claims his heart in a very tangible and unshakable way.<br />
I pray that God shows Jon how to use his gifts for His glory (music, compassion, leadership).<br />
I pray that he will learn to practice peace and hand worry over to God.<br />
I pray that he will learn how to be assertive in a godly way (it's very easy to walk all over this young man).<br />
I pray that I will be the mother he needs when he needs me and that I will be able to let go when he needs me to let go.<br />
<br />
Thank you God for the blessing of Jonathan in our lives. Wow! <br />

Life is so good right now. <br />
Thursday I will have a teenager! A real live thirteen year old girl living right here in my house!<br />
<br />
She is so happy right now - dancing four days a week. Having a great time in seventh grade. Gorgeous. Best big sister in the world. <br />
<br />
She is planning a trip to a haunted amusement park with her friends for her thirteenth followed by a sleepover. Should be a lot of fun! She also has a big surprise that will be waiting in the back yard for her when she gets home from dance Thursday night - a TRAMPOLINE! Can't wait for her to see!Chaos and Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07280014309939438647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930063725193685438.post-55514861645765833222013-09-03T10:49:00.002-07:002013-09-03T10:55:29.427-07:00A Poem by Kaitlin<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-24a75ca6-e4ef-fc91-d9ec-81c7f9951623" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

Charles has been in New Jersey all week (thankfully headed home today) and Jack has woken up every night this week (for different reasons). I decided to lay down on the couch just to close my eyes for a few minutes. Jack climbed up beside me and decided I looked like the perfect train track for his toy trains laying there on the couch as I was. <br />
First I tried being very still and pretending I was asleep hoping he would lose interest and start watching the show I was trying to trick him into watching. I was just about to ask him to go play somewhere else and PLEASE let mommie rest when he looked right at me and said "Hey, it's me Jack." I opened my eyes and looked at him and he said, "I love you and I love putting my arm around you." He did put his arm around me for a brief moment before turning me back into a train track (mostly my face). I just let him go. Who can resist a line like that from such a cute kid?Chaos and Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07280014309939438647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930063725193685438.post-18997082335312651432013-07-25T13:38:00.000-07:002013-07-25T13:38:06.110-07:00I started out feeling very blue today, but two very happy boys cheered me up<br />

He seems to be getting some much needed recharging there. I am very grateful that he has the chance to learn new things and recharge his batteries, but I am already ready for my husband to be back home!<br />
Kaitlin is at dance camp again this week. She has thrown herself into dance this summer and she is loving it. I have enjoyed the chance to watch her dance here at home in the afternoons. I miss the days of daily "shows" that Kaitlin put on. Now it is a rare treat to see her "perform" for me! <br />
Jonathan and I have had a lot of reading time this week. We read the Magician's Tower and now we are reading the 2nd Harry Potter. I love snuggling up with a book together. I know (from Kaitlin) that these time are limited, and I treasure them. Jonathan has been working on Hey Joe (Hendrix) and I Will Enter His Gates (Worship song). I love to hear him play.<br />
I just got back from taking the boys for a walk. Jack wanted to throw a few coins in the wishing well. On the way back home, Jack put his arm around Jonathan and said, "you are the best brother in the world." I love those boys.<br />
This has been the first day this week without rain, so Jonathan is hoping for a quick beach trip this evening. We'll see if I can manage it.<br />
<br />
Here is an updated picture. It has been a while since I have had my face in the blog world. <br />

I miss blogging. Facebook is such an easy way to let everyone know what is new with the Glidewells, but I can't go back and read it and look through pictures and the way I do on a blog. I just spent some time looking through 2010, the year Jack was born. A lot happened that year, and I loved looking through pictures and thoughts from that year.<br />
I really need to find a good website that turns blogs into books. I have amazing and hilarious kids, I need to keep up with all they do! So maybe I will start blogging again after a 2 year break...<br />

That deadline approaching kept him very busy (including a computer crash that was nearly a disaster...the computer never recovered, but his documents did, so we go on!). He has just started a self study on Theological German. Work and visitations keep him pretty booked up, but when he isn't writing, working on a sermon, translating or studying - he is hanging out with US! Oh and he just turned 32 on Feb 1st:) <br />Lisa dawn:<br />You can see what I'm doing by reading everyone's updates. They all keep me busy! (And house work isn't very interesting to read about)<br />Kaitlin:<br />Kaitlin seems to be busy all the time. She is currently doing little dribblers (Charles is her coach) and will start softball soon. She just brought home an all A report card. She is a hard worker and a great student. She loves making videos and is always coming up with new ideas. Some of our technology malfunctions have caused us not to be able to make any new video to share, but maybe soon. She is awesome with Jack, and I don't know what I'd do with out her. She is HILARIOUS and I just love hanging out with her!<br />Jonathan:<br />Our piano man - learning so much I can't keep up! He has a concert and guild auditions in May, so he is busy getting ready for those. He is reading like crazy - 4th and some 5th grade level books (which the girl he likes at school thinks is so awesome). He still loves dinosaurs and now he is reading non-fiction books to learn more about them. He also brought home an all A report card yesterday. Just look at his face in the picture above. My kids are HILARIOUS!<br />Jack:<br />Jack is pulling up on everything. Bumping his head occassionally - just the age we are at. He can ROAR like a dinosaur, raise his arms for SO BIG and plays peek a boo! He giggles all the time and grins when he is trying to get away with things. He's gorgeous and of course HILARIOUS and loves to dance in the kitchen with his Mommie and Daddy!

Kaitlin got 1st place in poetry for the third year in a row! She got fifth place in ready writing and her music memory team placed 2nd! Lauren, our friend and her UIL coach at school (also her GT teacher) is in the picture with her!<br />The second picture was taken this week. I walked outside and found Kaitlin high enough in the tree to make me say, Um...are you stuck? Of course she was fine - just like a cute little monkey.<br />This morning when Jack wanted to get up, Kaitlin came and got him and said, "Do you want me to take him in the living room, so you can stay in bed a little longer?"
