Conversations

Recently, BA noticed that people are different colors. One day not long ago I caught him examining his arms and hands. When I asked him what he was doing, he said, "Mom, am I white?"

Today he was doing that again. This time he said, "Mom, am I white right here (pointing to the palm of his hand)?" I then proceeded to tell him that he was indeed "white," but you could also call it "caucasian.

While visiting G-pa and G-ma today he saw his cousin and said, "G-ma, Matti is caucasian."

The fact that he thinks about this stuff baffles me, because we have never discussed people or their races...I wish I could listen to the thoughts of my three year old!

Story Time

BA takes his role as big brother seriously. He is always trying to take care of his brother- he wants to help bathe him, help feed him, and even tell him what he should and shouldn't do. Sometimes we have to remind him that he isn't an adult. This care taking role has earned him a few nicknames, such as "Mother Hen." Anyway, here is a sweet moment of him reading to CJ.

Fun Times!



While we are waiting on God to show us what church we will serve at, Ben is working on the family farm. Most days he spends on the tractor. One day he rode the tractor home and let the boys ride on it with him. They loved it!

CJ climbed up and down the ramp to the truck until pure exhaustion.

(I apologize for the delay in between posts. I had to find the cord to transfer pictures to the computer. I guess I packed it in the wrong box!)
