Be strong...

This is a season to be strong...

A Mother's Love...

I am a mom of two grown boys. I love Chris and Mark with all my heart. I pray for them daily, many times a day. I am very proud of them. I still like doing nice things for them, and helping out if they need something. 

For almost eight months Christopher has been living in the Philippines. He enjoys living and working there, but I miss him. Since the Coronavirus outbreak I have worried about him. The Philippines was quick to take some strict preventative measure to slow the spread. He reassures me that he has enough food and water, and will be safe.

Mark has such a beautiful family and we feel so blessed to have them nearby. It's hard to put into words how much we love Tiffani and our grandsons.

Mark decided to move out of his office. He has been coming to our home to work for a few weeks. I have enjoyed seeing his car in the driveway. I love having a few minutes each day to visit with him, when he takes a break for lunch. Sometimes I hear him talking to clients and I'm impressed with his level of expertise.

A mother's love is forever...

Corona fun...

The Coronavirus has changed a lot of things, but thankfully we can still spend time with our family. We have had fun making things out of clay. The boys are so clever. 

Cash made Sonic the Hedgehog.

Colbs made a poop emoji! 

Grey was so proud of his three 

peas in a pod and the hamburger!

Grahm liked smashing the things Grandpa made. He said, "I need a knife." Grandpa gave him his knife, but it was the fingernail file option!

Grahm: "Oh, that's cute!"

TADA!

I wanted to do the Skittles experiment with Grahm. It's a fun one and so pretty. Cash, Colby, and Grey enjoyed trying the experiment again.

Grahm: "What's happening?"

I think someone was eating the experiment! He wasn't the only one, but that's part of the fun.

Rainbow art!

We also had an early Easter egg hunt. Grandpa made one of his legendary scavenger hunts.

Grahm was more interested in the cradle than the Easter egg hunt. When Grahm sees it he says, "This is the rock-a-bye" and he wants get in. 

Grahm: "Will you cover me up with my blanket?"

Grahm is also working at home, and preparing to take over Grandpa's business!

So thankful we are in this together!

C and C...

Cash and Colby are getting so tall and more grown up with each passing day. Tim and I enjoyed our time together with just the two of them last week. 

A contest to see who can hold their breath the longest!

Cash and Colby worked together to 

make this amazing clay strawberry.

Cash made this original design of Charizard.

Grandpa would tie up Chris and Mark when they about the same age as Cash and Colby. They like Grandpa to tie them up too. No matter how tricky Grandpa is, they still get free fast!

It was almost nice enough to play outside! Cash and Colby like driving the RC cars.

It's fun to play games with them too. They are way past the kids games! We love them so much.

Tim was talking with the boys and asked them if they have heard the expression, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Cash said, "Yes, that's an idiom." What?!!
