sweet graham is 4 today. he is growing more strapping by the day...so strong, and boyish, and outdoorsy, and loud. he is also my most affectionate one these days...offering his "i love you"s freely and with a sigh. he loves to help me in the kitchen and he is such a tender big brother. mothering sons brings new challenges and perplexities. being four, graham randomly generates burning questions all. day. long. you know like: "daddy, what did your voice sound like when you were 7?" or "mommy, what would it be like to have 81 children?" the boy loves to be outside catching creatures, to explore, to inquire about why things are the way they are. his favorite verse to recite, while stomping around the living room, is "be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might..." this is my prayer for him as he grows, that his strength would be Godly while growing in gentleness and humility as well. i'm so thankful.

with a new interest in fire (surprise, surprise), we decided to invite two of his friends and their families over for a campout party in the backyard. no one really slept in the tent, but a great deal of fun was had!
