How we know we have the best boys in the world...

There are so many reasons that we feel blessed to have our boys. They complete us in so many ways and we talk about how wonderful they are EVERY day! So, I'll share some of the things that we often talk about when we marvel at our children:

*Today we were riding in the car. Silas for no reason at all told Avery "Avery, I miss you." They had been together all day, but to Silas this is a way of letting him know that he loves him.

*Avery asked to do the prayer before bed last night. He prayed for Silas' head to heal, for Daddy to feel good at work, and for Grandma and Grandpa to get home safely (from visiting us.) He ended with "in Jesus name I pray!" Man, we love to see them learning these things!

*Nolan is learning so much about his world. He's learning how to get others to pay attention to him by making cute little noises at people. On Silas' birthday we were at Kroger and there was an older gentleman behind us. Nolan made squeals at the man until the man couldn't help but respond! I think he'll be very social like the rest of the family!

*We have been vehicle shopping for the past few days. The boys have spent much time in the car. They have complained very little and usually wait until we stop to ask "Can we stretch our legs while we are here?"

*Avery wants us to find a new truck so badly. We've seen several that we haven't purchased. Today he told us that we could go home and get his piggy bank so that we could afford a more expensive one. He very seriously thinks that he has lots of money in his piggy!

*Grandma and Grandpa Frye have a horse named Buddy. The boys are so in love with Buddy. The other day we were getting ready to leave to go visit when Silas said "we better hurry, Buddy's waiting!"

*Steve comes home from work and is met with little boys who are so excited and shouting "Daddy, Daddy!" And Nolan squeals and smiles so big at him. There is never a time when they aren't bursting at the seams when he gets home!

I could go on for days, but these are some of the most recent events that remind us of God's Blessings!
