HELP! I NEED MR. FIX-IT!

When the washer breaks down, it's time to call in assistant Grant
to help fix it.....

Mr. Fix-It and Pa



BIG DREAMS

Grant brought in his lights-and-sirens fire truck to play with.

"I like firefighters!" he said.

"I like firefighters! Someday I be firefighter....

but not today."

Darren and Ma

The other morning Darren and I had a rare few hours together,

just the two of us.

Sweet Boy

Love you, D!

GRANT-ISMS

As I was driving home the other day, Grace and Grant were drawing pictures with tablets and markers, talking and entertaining themselves.  Grant correctly counted from 1 to 10. I pointed out to Gracie what Grant had done and he started counting again but Grace started talking so he stopped.  I asked her to hold on for a minute so we could hear him count again.  He didn't start counting so I said, "Grant, can you count from 1 to 10?"  "Yes," he said.  "1 .. 10."  Grace and I started laughing so he joined in.  Finally he said, "Siwwy me.  Siwwy me."

At 3:15 this morning, a handsome fella crawled into bed with me.

He had blond hair, blue eyes, and two cold feet that

felt like ice cubes and that he stuck right under my legs.

Hey, snuggles are rare and precious

so I'll take them anyway I can get them!

OUR ADVENTURER CAN COLLECTING

Our church youth programs, Adventurers and Pathfinders,

have a long-standing tradition of collecting canned food in the fall

for distribution of food baskets during the holidays.

Gracie could hardly sleep last night,

she was SO excited about going for the first time.

Gracie is ready to go can-collecting
for the very first time!

I like can-collecting!

I walked four miles!

I can't believe I walked four miles!!!!

Great job, Adventurers and Pathfinders!!!
Thanks for your hard work!
