Today, I took Gigs to get his passport.
He'll be starting his mission application process around
December, and I wanted him to have his passport done and ready in case
he gets called somewhere out of the country; this is just
another step we'll have completed.
After, he asked me if he could buy some cheap hairspray
for his potato gun.
We got home, Christian was on the front porch waiting for us and
just as excited as Gigs to shoot the gun.
Then I realized that once a boy, always a boy!
These cute boys who go on missions are all still just kids.Incredibly, the Lord trusts these boys to carry His work forward
to people all over the world, learning about their culture, language, and lives.
I have seen so much growth in Ollie. It's amazing!
He's a man in every way,
but he'll still come home and want to continue his helmet collection
and ride his dirt bike, and he even mentioned he wanted me to
read him picture books on the couch like I did when he was younger.
I look forward to Gigs growing in this way, too.
Then, for dinner, Lottie made an artichoke dip.
She's been begging me to make his for weeks now!
It was delicious!
Go, Lod, go!
You know those commercials where people are shown
eating food, closing their eyes to express extreme delight
or emphasize how good the food is?
Well, that's Lottie, for reals.
She's done this for as long as I've known her.
It's the cutest thing!
