Jonathan so often takes me by surprise. Today he told me that he has started leading prayer at his lunch table. This little first grade guy asked the "guys" that he sits with at lunch if they'd like to start praying before they eat. He said only 2 others wanted to, but they have been doing it for a few days now. He said one of the lunch monitors noticed and said, "I like that you pray before you eat." Way to stand out for Christ, Jon!
He said, "I also told them the story of how Jesus went on the cross. I might also tell them about the red sea."
A friend's son drew a picture of our Savior on the cross and told her she should post it on facebook - which she did (and blessed me very much). No wonder we are to come to Him like a child. I feel like I am learning more and more what that means.

Jack
I love the way Jack sleeps - with his little booty up in the air and his hands under his tummy.
I love the way he laughs when his daddy tickles him.
I love the way he has started kissing back when I give him a million kisses on his face.
I love the way he coos and smiles.
I love the way he makes peoples day at the store and in restraunts and at the hospital because he is so excited to see them.
I love the way he sits in my lap and looks at picture books with such enthusiasm and that he is learning to grab the pages.
I love the way he lights up when he sees his big brother and sister.
I love the way he holds on to my shirt when he eats.
I love the way he looks at me and coos loudly to get my attention.
I love the way he gets mesmerized by Charlie Brown.
I love the way he enjoys his food and gets excited when we put him in the high chair.
I love love love love love his grin!
I love that he looks so much like his wonderful, adorable daddy!
I love beautiful blue eyes.
I love the way he holds my hair to sleep but that we can also lay him down to sleep.
I love that he is my little miracle and that I get to stay home with him and enjoy him SO much each and every day!

500th Post
I noticed as I was about to start this blog entry that this is my
500th POST!!!!
And what better to do on my 500th post than to add a little more bragging.
Charles entered his screenplay into the Austin Film Festival along with 4400 other entries. His screenplay made it into the top 10% before being eliminated. Reaching that level entitles him to receive "reader's notes" in October.
This is a HUGE deal and I couldn't be more proud!!!

Bragging Rights
The other day while Kaitlin was at a sleepover and Jack was napping, Jonathan and I had some special time together. We shot the BB Gun and went for a walk in the cotton fields where we sang all of our favorite hymns (loudly). While Jonathan was shooting I was telling him what an Awesome shooter he was and he said, "well, I just don't like to brag because I know some people can shoot better than me."
Well - I hate to brag, BUT its hard not to with a husband and children like mine.
Charles - Charles will be teaching at the A Heart for Teaching conference at Logsdon on Monday. He will be presenting a discussion on the importance of Dialogue in the Church. I am so proud of all that he has accomplished this year - including this conference. Also he is four chapters away from finishing his novel - which I am reading to the kids in the evenings a chapter at a time (they are loving it.
Kaitlin - my fourth grader! She's beautiful, funny, sweet and just an all around cool kid! Reading on an 8th grade level and falling asleep studying multiplication facts (literally at her desk in her room).
Jonathan - This hilarious cutie is still playing piano (starting back to lessons today), has a top loose tooth, and he's reading chapter books on a 2nd and 3rd grade level
Jack - ROLLING OVER and growing so much I can hardly keep up. I don't know if this little guy could get ANY cuter (and he looks JUST like his Daddy!)
