MERCY AND THE BOYS

I Love It!

The other day Micah was asking me for something specific for his snack, but I didn't quite understand what he was saying, though I knew it was M&M's he was wanting. That evening he told Daddy he had "M-O-M's" for a snack that day. How cute is that? I love it!

Vacation Pictures Finally

Okay, so I've been a little behind on putting pictures up here. :o) But here are some highlights from our vacation to the "land of smiles" back in February. We had a fabulous time, hung out with some fun folks, and made memories that will last forever. Here's just a peak at what all we did...

The boys enjoyed feeding the elephants and hippos at the zoo. We were hoping to feed the giraffes this time (like we did before), but that wasn't an option that day. We were disappointed about the giraffes, but still enjoyed feeding (and sometimes petting!) the other animals.


Riding back from the zoo that day we took the local transportation which is like a covered truck with benches down either side of the bed for people to sit on. The kids loved riding these, but we had to hold on to the stroller and Mercy's seat/backpack!

The city with the great zoo was where we spent the first week. Then we headed south on a 4-hour van ride to the vacation place where the beach was. It was a great week for our family! Here are some of the fun things we did that week...


We spent Valentine's Day there... Thanks, G-mother for sending all the valentine stuff! We took it with us so we could celebrate there.


The place where we stayed was right on the beach. The boys had SO MUCH FUN playing in the sand and water. It was like the boys' favorite dream come true!


We spent our 3rd week in a different place where had lots of fun too. We're so grateful for the people we met and the great time that we had. What a gift to our family!

Micah's Answers

For our family devotions we recently finished The Jesus Book where we've done one of the lessons each night, then had the boys take turns doing "memory". They have enjoyed answering the questions about Jesus like "What did the prophets say about Him?" and "Where was He born?" and "When did Peter deny Jesus" and "When did His ministry begin?" Sweet Micah sometimes gets the answers a little mixed up, but he loves to hang in there with his brothers and answer them too. One night when asked "When did Jesus' ministry begin?" He answered, "After He was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended on Him like a... rooster." :-) He got "rooster" from the question about Peter. Of course, we all laughed, but he was totally serious. It was very cute.
