Examples


When I was a kid, we used to sing, “Oh be careful little hands what you do; oh be careful, little hands what you do. For the Father up above is looking down with love; oh be careful little hands what you do.”

That song was to remind us that God is always watching what we do, but yesterday, I noticed something that reminded me of the song.

Nathan was sitting on the couch playing on the computer. His little brother watched him playing the computer, went into his bedroom, and got out the toy computer that they have so he could play on it, too. He copied everything Nathan did, using the computer to do “work.”

Little League Game #1

Nathan is playing T-ball at the Little League while we’re in the USA. Here is some video from his first two at-bats. We’re so happy he’s on the Rays.

The Toy Cleanup

Today Nathan and I were home alone for a while, so we made this cartoon about cleaning up toys. It’s so fun to be creative with him.

This is what it’s all about when you’re five:

Nathan’s First Big League Game

Furlough, or “home assignment” is a time for a missionary family to get to do some things that they don’t necessarily get to do while on the mission field. Yesterday was one of those days.

We’ve been Tampa Bay Rays fans since they came into the Major Leagues, and this year, they are playing really well. So I decided to take Nathan to his first baseball game yesterday. We got some cheap tickets on StubHub and took off for the day.

Our tickets were 2 rows behind the wall in left-center field, and every Sunday at Tropicana Field, they have Family Fun Days, with all sorts of fun things for families with kids to do. They also happened to be giving out Super Hero Capes (which is why Nathan wanted to go, I think).

So, we ate peanuts, got a foot long hot dog, ate some Carvel ice cream, and watched baseball. It was fun to hang out with my big guy all day.

First Day of Kindergarten

One of the major milestones for our family this year is Nathan going off to Kindergarten. When we first started thinking about coming to the United States for Home Assignment, we thought it would be great for him to be able to go to Kindergarten in Florida.

We were blessed by Grace Christian School to be given a full scholarship for Nathan to attend there this year. Grace Bible Church means a lot to us. It is where we got married. It is where I (Dennis) attended school from 2nd-12th grade. We have lots of friends there and many great memories.

So today we took Nathan to his first day of Kindergarten at Grace. I pray that he will have fond memories of this school, too, and it will be a place where he can come to learn many great things. One of the things I am most thankful for about having a Christian School education is knowing many things about the Bible that I wouldn’t have known without attending Grace.
