Ice Cream, Legos, and Itty-bitty Frogs

This week was definitely one for the books.  There were quite a few moments worthy of note.  The first being, Henry has officially moved up to a big-boy bed.  Ok, so it's just his crib with one side taken off, but to him, it's a huge step in the big boy direction.  Here he is laying down for his first nap in his "new" bed.  He was so excited!

Other items of note were eating ice cream cones and getting more on our faces than in our mouths, going to the park with friends and catching some itty-bitty frogs (the little black dot in Thomas' hand is a frog), and tracing life-sized pictures of ourselves and choosing to make a body-sized mask out of it (Thomas) or color & decorate it (Jonny).  

Thomas' new hobby is building transformers out of legos.  These aren't from kits using instructions, this kid makes this stuff up as he goes.  It's amazing to watch him.  He hasn't even started 1st grade yet!  

We also did a whole lotta singing!

As a side note, today in church we had a lesson about how we can make our weaknesses strengths with the Lord's help.  We discussed how our Heavenly Father could have made us without weaknesses, he could have made us perfect, after all, he can do anything.  But he didn't, instead he chose to give us weaknesses that are unique to each and every one of us.  As we discussed this, this scripture came to mind:  "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.  I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." (Ether 12:27, Book of Mormon)  He gave us weakness so that through Him, we can become strong.  I LOVE that and I have definitely seen that multiple times in my own life.

Hope you have a blessed week!
