Indiana Mattie

Just wanted to share a new phase in Mattie's little life. He is a bit addicted to Indiana Jones right now. ALL the movies! It is so funny. I love it. He assigns us each a role, sometimes I am his father, Dr. Jones, and sometimes Matthew is. But we have to say "JUNIOR" in a Sean Connery-esque voice. His hat is almost always on his head these days, including church on Sunday. His teachers played into it a bit too going along with the whole Indiana Mattie thing. He is funny! I do love this part about little boys!

Things I LOVE about my kids...

I love how Mattie always says “excuse me” each and every time he toots. Even when he is on the toilet, and even when you can’t even hear it. You will just here him say “excuse me, excuse me” to no one. Makes me giggle.

I love it when Chloe smiles ALL THE TIME. She always has a smile on her face, even when she is in trouble, I think it is almost a reflex. It sure does make it easy when she is upset about something, I can just say “don’t smile Chloe” and she will.

I love it when my kids play together without fighting. I love to hear them actually enjoying each other instead of tearing each other apart.

I love it when they are all asleep in bed, and I can kiss them and watch their sleeping faces without them knowing.

I love it when Chloe sits down to breakfast only about 10 minutes before lunch and eats both meals. She sleeps late, but she cannot miss breakfast, it absolutely rocks her world.

I love it when Elyza reads Mattie a book before bed at night. She is so motherly and loving sometimes, and I love to hear her reading stories to him.

I love the heart that Elyza has for the Lord. I see a true evangelistic girl in her. She really does want to share the love of Jesus Christ with others around her, and I love to listen in when she does.

I love how all my kids sound EXACTLY alike on the phone, and they all think I should know who I am talking to. I got on the phone with Mattie and I thought it was Chloe, and Mattie said, “No Mommy, its ME!”

I love how each of my kids are so different and unique and I thank God for them!
