Installment 3: The Dirty Face Brothers

I didn't even make him do this! Elijah has been spontaneously being nice to Sammy on occasion, which is AWESOME!



A conversation that has occurred a handful of times in the past few days:

E: Mommy, are there four of us at home right now?
Me: Yes! Isn't it nice to have us all home at the same time?
E: Yes! Can there be five of us?
Me: You want five people in our family?
E: Yeah, I want a wittle sister!
Me: Oh. Hmmm.
E: Can I have a wittle sister, Mommy? We'll name her SUBMARINE.
Me: Oh, that's lovely. Um, why don't you ask Jesus what he thinks.
E: Ok. "Hi, Jesus? Can we have a wittle sister?" "Sure, ok, Elijah!"
Me: What did he say?
E: He said yes.
Me: Elijah, did Daddy just pass out? Check his pulse.



We took the boys to an apple orchard last night. It was a beautiful fall evening! Elijah had fun picking and testing apples and walking up and down the rows of trees. He also climbed a huge stack of hay, which was impressive! Sam just took it all in. Pics to come on that adventure..



I don't have much more to share at the moment, so I will let you enjoy photos of the cuties. Have a great weekend!!

So precious! Sounds like Elijah's got the okay from Jesus for a wittle sister! Prayers are powerful. Can't wait to meet her. ;-)

Evan prayed for 1 then cried and said he hoped God didn't hear "that" prayer, lol.
