Smart, Talented, and Blessed Boys

Zane drew this picture this morning. It looks like what he says it is. This is a "Sun Person" standing on a "clump" (which he says means "dirt") and jumping rope. It amazes me some of the things he comes up with when I've given him absolutely no direction. He's definitely got his daddy's creativity (and randomness).

Nat has started showing some analytical skills. He sits in the play area and explores the toys. When I took this picture he was sitting at the "bang, bang," as Zane called it, and was slowly pushing the pegs in and pulling them out over and over again. JR pointed out to me that the colored pegs were placed symmetrically. I think that means someone else has inherited his parents' OCD tendencies.

JR graduated this week from the first portion of his school. He had the highest score in his class, but due to a technicality, he is not the Honor Graduate. I'm proud of him for having the highest score, though. He apparently has some nice guys in the class with him. When this guy found out JR was going to be alone for Thanksgiving he told JR to load his bike in the guys truck and then took him home to Quantico for Thanksgiving. I'm so thankful that there's someone there to take care of him and that he won't be alone! I love blessings!
