"I'm glad he chose to forgive me!"

Here are a few recent pictures. One night we cooked out on our driveway! The kids had fun and use can see Leah ecspecially enjoyed her smore.

Another thing Leah is really enjoying these days, is her new kitty. Its name changes every day. I think their calling it "Sally" today. Sally is pretty tough as she "endures" the love of our kids.



Caleb turns 7 tomorrow. I can't believe it! Time flies. He is super huge into football these days, so he wanted a football theme party. We just finished and the neighborhood kids have gone home. It was a great time. And now Rachel and I will collapse.








The most exciting thing that has happened recently has to do with Joshua. Rachel and I had been noticing a big change in his attitude. Then one night we were all wrestling and Josh got hurt. Normally this would have set off his temper and he would have been pouting for some time. Through some tears he quietly said, "That's o.k. Micah. I know you didn't mean to hurt me." I thanked Josh for his reaction and told him that he was acting like Jesus would have. He said, "That's because he's living in my heart now." I asked him to explain and he shared what had happened a few nights before. He said he was upset with himself because he couldn't stop lying and being angry all the time. He said he felt so bad about his sins that he cried out, "I just can't take it anymore Jesus. Forgive me of my sins or you're gonna have to kill me!" And then he smiled and said, "I'm glad he chose to forigve me!"
