Does this count??

ben david caught on at an early age to the concept of folding his hands during prayer. more recently, we have added the whole "close your eyes" part. this picture captures the result...as you can see, it is a work in progress.
ben david will maintain this position for about o.5 seconds before re-opening his eyes to see if yours are still closed, and also if the meal in front of him is something worthwhile to pray over. we are trusting these prayers still "count"...i am pretty sure they do!:)

i told ben i thought taking the above picture was child exploitation, not to mention slightly sacrilegious.

here are a few pics of the boys enjoying the warm weather in our backyard! we love the new playset daddy built, especially the sandbox (which still needs a few bags of sand, but the grass inside is fun to play with too!)
