A Love for Learning

This boy has a new love for learning.  

I bought him a "school book" a few weeks ago at the grocery store and he has almost completed the 320 page workbook!

His wheels are busy spinning trying to figure out what words start with and how to sound them out.
 He is learning to write letters and numbers. I have found many post-it notes around the house with letters written by a little novice hand.

Will, I hope you always have a love for learning new things.

The Great Outdoors

Reason 187,648,329,484,739,223 why we feel so very blessed by the Lord's provision of our new home is a long flat driveway.  For those of you who never went to our old house our driveway and neighborhood felt like it was part of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Any sort of bike riding or ball throwing was never a good idea unless you liked running up and down hills. So with all the gorgeous weather lately we have spent many hours each day enjoying the great outdoors.

Riding double on the dump truck together is a favorite.
 Who says you can't have a tea party while riding on a dump truck?



 Will has become quite efficient on his Spiderman bike. He is already making plans to take his training wheels off on the day he turns four.  
 It doesn't get much better then riding through mud puddles.  He was very disappointed the morning we woke up and the puddles had disappeared.  
 We have also done our fair share of digging in the dirt, looking for bugs, worms and anything else we can hold. 


I would love to hear what kind of little conversations they were having here.
Will brought home a kite from "Kite Day" at school.  We eagerly rushed home to try it but were very disappointed that the wind was not strong enough to keep it up.
 But we kept on trying...
 ...with much determination.
 Thank you Lord for the beauty of your creation!
Adios my friends!
