A couple of videos to bring to smiles to your face.

Abe likes to build dragons with his blocks.  He builds lots of them and he is very particular about them.  If you trade two wings he will notice. Tonight he had just a few minutes before pick up and bed.  He thought it was a good idea to take out the box of more blocks.  Dad's response of no was handled in such a way that we had to change our minds.

Feeling patriotic?

Abe got to take a ride on Thomas on our last day.  Grandma gave him money and he even got to buy his own ticket.  What fun!

We also got to ride on the Merry-go-round.

Grandpa, Dad, Abe and Kenzee all went fishing one day.  Thanks to Rick and Shell for letting them come out to their beautiful pond.

Our first stop on our trip was to Madison.  On Day 1 we got to go with the cousins to Henry Villas Zoo.  It was a very nice zoo and they go by donations.  Abe had blast playing with his cousins while we were on the trip.

Down in Indiana we celebrated Daddy's birthday along with the boys birthdays too.  

And I'll try to post about Joel's FIRST birthday very soon.

I thought a replay of part of our dinner conversation tonight might bring a smile to your face.  It sure brought joy to my heart.

A: Daddy, you're a princess?
M: No, Daddy's my prince.
A: Mommy, you're a princess?  I will have a princess?  And Joel will have his own princess?
M: Yes son.
[pause.]
A:  Will she love me?
M: Yes son.
A: I will protect her.  [pause].  And provide for her.  [pause].  And point her to God.

Yes, that came out of the mouth of my soon-to-be-three year old.  God is good.  What a blessing.
