Big Things

This week has been busy around our house, as they usually are in the summer. Something big happened with each of the trifecta, as I call the boys these days.

Tucker played in his first and second wee ball games. Talk about ridiculous! He's way too little to even understand what is going on or what he's supposed to do, but it's been fun anyway. He has really enjoyed getting to run around with his friends and do something that's just for him. It's pretty cute to watch, most of the time. He had two games this week and there was vast improvement from Tuesday to Thursday. He only tackled one kid to get the ball and while it was a pretty good hit, it did solicit a spanking and some tears. It also made him the talk of the fan section! I'm glad everyone else thinks he's funny or we'd have some serious trouble with our rough boy. May wee-football will be more our thing. Who knows.

Bennett Harris turned eight months old on Thursday and yesterday decided it was high time he started crawling. Watching him yesterday was so fun because you could see him figuring it out more and gaining confidence. I won't be able to keep up with our newly mobile second son by next week!

And Casen got to start rice cereal yesterday. We went to his four month check up and he's doing perfectly, except for all the spitting up. Our pediatrician finally gave us the ok to try cereal and then ease into other foods. Case didn't know what to do with the stuff at first. He just held it in his mouth for a while, but once he figured out he was supposed to swallow it he went to town! He loved it!  I couldn't believe how well he did for his first food/spoon experience.

Chris has been super busy this week getting ready for Falls Creek and a wedding he's performing this weekend so we haven't seen him as much as we'd like to. The boys, our leadership kids, the inturns and I all leave for camp today at 10 o'clock. I'm going to drop the little boys off at my mom's and the rest of us will go get everything set up for kids to arrive Monday afternoon.
Here's to another super busy week and life in youth ministry!
