1000 Gifts 21-26

22. Giving

23. Thoughtfulness of others

24. Seeing Seth's confidence build because he has achieved something he feared greatly.

25. the smell of freshly baking cookies and the taste of it

The reason for Giving.

It has been such a long time since I blogged.  I like to blog about things that make a difference to me and this blog post has.  Please read it if you are serious about teaching your children that Christ is the centre of Christmas.

Giraffe

Tonight the boys were having their usual night time conversation and Kung fu Panda was the topic.Tylon to be specific.

Josh:Tylon is a lion
Seth: No Tylon is not a lion because he doesn't have lots of hair.Tylon is a cheata.
Josh: No Tylon is a giraffe.
That was the end of all composure for Seth and I'm sure that Josh yeas a big grin on his face especially since he loves to stir the pot
