Peter and Jerome just got back today from a wonderful trip to Utah where they got to snowboard together and celebrate Grandma Jane’s 90th birthday!

While they were away Seth, Ian and I discovered just how much we LOVE Jerome and Daddy! And I discovered how great a help Jerome is to me. Not just with his brothers, though that is major, but in the enrichment of my own life. He is someone to talk to, to learn with, and to trust. I felt myself in my mind and around the house just going in circles! My routine had been interrupted. But it was also a good time with just my little boys…they got more of me than they normally do. And somehow, Jesus was more real to me in my aloneness. He is my shield and fortress in Whom I take delight!

Seth has said some Sethisms this weekend:

“If we were moving air, we could blow people away.”

In a book he pointed to a hunting dog and asked me what it was. I said that it was a bird dog and he asked me “Oh, can it fly?”

Coming home in the rain and driving by our block wall Seth said “Mommy, our wall is sweaty!”

 through the rain on the window. Seth enjoying the mud puddle! And Ian never far behind. :-) Raven’s favorite game is to catch dirt clods and she barks at the boys until they throw one for her. Ian loves to throw everything, so it’s a good game for both of them! The sun beginning to set, came below the rain clouds and made the world shimmer! The end of this storm! Thank God for the rain! And help us endure the mud. Amen. Seth trying on Jerome’s snow gear with Daddy’s boots. :-) Yay! Big brother’s back!
