The kids and I are home this morning while daddy is on camera duty at church. We all went together as a family last night. It made for a nice lazy morning this morning. I showered and as I'm getting ready I hear the sounds of all three of my kiddo's laughter. It's the sweetest sound and I love it. They have been playing all morning together just the three of them. Cracking each other up, making silly faces, saying silly things, it's truly priceless. These moments are not necessarily rare at my house, but when they happen I try to really cherish it. They fight like all siblings, they hit, pinch, and yes even punch, but today they are the best of friends and I love that it is all three of them, not just the girls as sisters, but they've gathered their brother and are having the best of times. I only pray that as they grow they will always make time for this, to be silly and play goofy games all together, just the three of them! If you haven't read Power of a Praying Parent, I encourage you to do so. It helps you to pray so specifically for your children and one of the prayers is that they will be friends. I have not been good at praying this lately, but I plan I have in the past, and will start again. I love how the book shows you how much power your prayers have as your child's prayer warrior.
Sorry I've been a bad blogger, life has certainly happened here. We have been busy with school and company and finally moving my mom and Bob here. So, I will try and play some catch-up in the next few weeks!

What a wonderful sound. We are really struggling as we hit these teenage years with trying to teach the boys how important it is to be each other's friend. I don't remember having this problem with David growing up but my boys are having it. I'm glad to read your post and remind myself to pray specifically in that way!
I miss hearing those kiddos laugh.
Love you guys!
Mike and Em
