A Big Day in the B house!!

Yesterday, May 3rd, was a big day in our house...we officially have 2 teenagers under the roof now!! C celebrated his 13th birthday ...it is so hard to believe 13 years have sped by since our 9#14oz baby entered the world!! As you can see from the pictures below, C has experienced a major growth spurt...sometimes from a distance( on the baseball field) I don't even recognize him! He is growing in many ways and we are so grateful for the privilege to parent our 2nd born :) Mercy surprised him by doing his chores yesterday and begged me to take her to the Dollar store so she could purchase gifts(candy!) for each of her brothers celebrating this month. I savor these sweet family moments/ "snapshots of grace!"
C has grown in many ways over this past year but most significant are the changes we are seeing in his spiritual walk. We look forward to watching the Lord at work in our son's life in the days ahead!! We love you,C~

C received his humongous toolbox from Daddy with 3 tools to start his collection. Each birthday he will receive a new tool to add to the set so that when he is ready to be on his own, (sniff, sniff) he will be well equipped in the tool department!

Our 17+ year old refrigerator has died...M and I headed out last night to shop for a new one :) We are still looking... We asked C to measure the height of our old one since we were scoping the internet before we left to shop. C ran in the other room to get his very own handy tape measure to help us out :)

Thanks for stopping by~
P.S. It was also a big day for other reasons...Today, P finished his final module of Biology, C took his last General Science test and also completed his Pre-Algebra Math program...Wednesday is our final Homeschooler's Day Out for the year~our school year is definitely winding down!!
