Like Daddy

We are so enjoying this age with William.  He is so much more interactive and curious and playful than ever before.  Matthew, especially, is enjoying this time with his little buddy.  And when daddy is around, William is all over him! It's really sweet to watch them together, and to see William wanting to do everything his daddy does.

Just when I didn't think I could love Matthew any more, I do.

We pray that William would grow to look to us as we look to Christ, and that we would point him to his one true Father who will never ever let him down.  Because we know that ultimately, both of us will!  God's grace is the only means by which we will be able to shepherd him well, since we are completely lost and sinful and selfish without that abounding grace.  But Matthew and I are both so grateful for the opportunity to shepherd this precious soul for a time, and to be able to find so much joy with William in the little things like getting the mail, destroying magazines, or sharing an orange...

Daily routine of going to the mailbox together.  William likes to chew on the junk mail.  It's probably not sanitary.

Pulled himself up on daddy's knee... "Can I have some??"

Giving in :)

Reading together

William's reading is more like destroying at this stage

He's pretty advanced

"What are YOU reading, dad?"
