Our first Ice Skating adventure...

The kids absolutely LOVED going ice skating!! We went on a Sunday
afternoon before Awana and the kids didn't want to leave.

Tucker started doing 'Pete Rose' style dives and sliding on his knees.
Chloe did a great job. They both were on their own when we left. They
can't wait to go back.

I'm stapling stuff

I can't believe it!

he stands... and conquers.

I often wonder what goes on inside his head when he has no words...
On this day, i'm imagining that he plays his own theme music as he
decides what and how he will conquer his next world...
