For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

My helper



I was marveling yesterday while we were at a doctor's appointment at just how eager and able Bryant is to help me now. When Kayla needed a bottle I could ask Bryant to find it for me, when Lana was crying I would ask Bryant to get a pacifier. As I was getting Lana dressed after her check up Bryant gathered up her shoes and put them in the diaper bag since Lana was going to ride in the stroller and did not need them. He is learning to help Mommy without even being asked and he does it cheerfully. Bryant also loves to help in the kitchen and is always wanting to cook with me, as you can see in the pictures above. What a blessing it is to have a little guy who wants to be a helper.

Responsible first-borns! They are great. Mine just turned 10, and I can hardly believe it. She's gone this week and I miss her & her help like crazy!
