It is so hard to believe that P has just turned 15! The greatest joy for us as parents is to see his relationship with the Lord flourish and to watch him growing in humility and wisdom. As we all went around the table sharing what we love about P, the common theme was his humility and consistency in asking forgiveness. He also does a great job playing with his younger siblings and 'entering their world'. He is a diligent worker both in his studies, household chores, and in working for others. Recently we worked as a family at my hubby's 'Global Service Day' with many of his co-workers cleaning up a YMCA close to his office. Several of M's co-workers later commented on P's diligence as he energetically slung mulch for many hours. I am thoroughly enjoying these teenage years. Sure, there are moments, but overall, I stand in awe of what the Lord is doing in spite of us!!
Happy Birthday, P---we love you!!!!!
Miss Mercy was so excited to give P the gift she had purchased with her own money~
Each of the kids gets to choose their favorite meal for their birthday dinner...P chose "chicken pockets" a recipe shared with me by a dear friend when she brought over a meal the week P was born!! It is comical to hear the 3 boys who share may birthdays plot out their choices. L was set on having whole wheat chocolate chip pancakes for dinner but his big brothers convinced him that he really wanted meatloaf and mashed potatoes...it took some convincing but L eventually caved in to his big brothers~ I'm grateful they enjoy my cooking :)PS: I have no idea why the font is all messed up on this post...I tried numerous times to fix it to no avail ...
