a moment in time

Josiah: kindergarten, smiles, snuggles for Mom first thing in the morning, all things science, playing stuffed animals with Rachel, heartfelt prayers to God, pumpkin pancakes and spaghetti (no sauce!), read alouds, stubbornly determined to have things his way, soccer and gymnastics, Rush Hour games and Imaginext, the color green, airplanes, figuring out how things work.

Rachel: 6th grade, red and black, avoids dresses, theater, creative mind, diligent, making cookies, everything animals, taking pictures, gymnastics, American Girl, outdoor genes, clarinet to piano and back again, hands-on learning, reading, American history and Abraham Lincoln, making others smile, thoughtful, surprises on our pillow, fiction, friendship, keeping room neat, longing for Yellowstone.

Micah: 8th grade, 13 going on 23, almost as tall as mom, paleontology, texting (but not a lot), trumpet and piano, devours books, Cedine Ministries, music, silver, skin-tight warm up shirts, soccer and basketball, science, algebra, world history, nonfiction, loves kids, childcare at church, Euchre, serving others, youth group, Wii, eating pizza, independence.

Just for fun, here's a link to another glimpse from several years ago.

Thought I would make this their writing assignment for next week. I can't wait to see what they come up with!
