Each member of our family is so different, like individual components of a symphony. But, like a symphony, each part is important to the overall structure and sound of the piece. We all work together to make a beautiful sound...our family. Just as the Lord knit us together in the womb, He is now knitting us together as a family, for His glory, outside the womb.
Aria loves to take out the pots and pans while I cook dinner. Thankfully, she found this tin pan to hit against her head. I don't think she would have been laughing had she used a real pan. I love how she neatly and matter of factly puts the pan away at the end. Always clean up your mess! (I wish they lived by that motto):)
I'm not sure where Cadence's clothes went, but I guess it's easier to move and groove without the restrictions of clothing.
Here are our gifted children dancing to the "Remarkable Cows" song. Aria's watching in wonderment.
Here's a Cadence solo. I love the pan over to Finn, where he decides that taking pictures works better if you turn the camera around and take a picture of your eye. Yes, that's much better.
Today, we went down to Denver to celebrate Finn's birthday with Bill, Karen, Jeff, Kelli, Bryan, Jenny, Sophie, Clara and Sam. Karen was so sweet and prepared a sack lunch for all the kids to have a picnic out on blankets on the lawn. Everyone got a cute flower shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwich, capri suns, pudding, applesauce, string cheese, fruit snacks, Cars plates and napkins, and a hotwheels car! It was so thoughtful! I loved it! Thank you MomPom! For the adults, Karen made yummy wondersandwich. If you don't know what that is, maybe she will post it on her blog. It is so yummy and fattening...full of cream cheese. Then, after much running around, Finn took a break to open his presents from Granny and Papa (Kelli and Bryan already gave Finn his Handy Manny tool box for his birthday). He got clothes, Percy and the Sodor Library train car, a Cars sippy cup, and two builder books. He loved them! He played with the trains all the way home and then brought his hotwheels car with him to the store this evening.
I was able to go through the Einstein Bagels drive-thru on the way home (lucky for me there is one on the way out of town from Bill and Karen's) and get a delicious Frozen Cafe Mocha. Love it! It's probably good that we don't have Einstein Bagels in Ft. Collins because it makes it that much more of a treat when I get to have one.
I finally figured out how to post bigger videos in the body of my blog. So, here are some videos from Finn's birthday of the farm, the cake and the presents!
