Week 12:52 {Shining}...

I'm constantly mesmerized by the color of his eyes.  The older three boys have bright blue eyes but his are this beautiful collection of colors. 

Swinging...

 Here are some more pictures from yesterday.  In my previous post I mentioned that the boys were laughing so hard because they were spitting on the ground...in the second picture you can see the spit flying in the air...

Morning Light...

Our only attic window faces east so we enjoy beautiful light as the sunrises.  This morning Will slept in, so I captured a few pictures of him just as he was waking up...

Week 10:52 {Nature}...

***Featured on #LoveLifeOutside***
The snow finally melted and the yard dried up enough to enjoy the beauty right outside our front door...

I love the picture below...every boy is doing something different but they are all connected by the shape of the triangle they form...

Ga-ga Pit...

Wes and the boys spent this snow day building a Ga-ga Pit in our basement.  The boys always come home from summer camp with stories about playing Ga-ga.  Even Will played last summer and had fun.  Now Micaiah plays at church with the Middle School ministry and the younger boys are always looking for ways to get in on the fun.

What is Ga-ga you may ask?
"Ga-ga ("touch-touch" in Hebrew) is a variant of dodgeball that is played with one ball.  The game combines dodging, striking, running and jumping with the object of hitting opponents with a ball below the knee while avoiding being hit.  Ga-ga is played in a large octagon or hexagon called a ga-ga pit."
