Playing Guitar with Papa

Having a musician for a Papa is one of Ethan & Naomi's favorite things! They LOVE the guitar, keyboard, drums, anything musical... they are right there and wanting to play.
Josiah just wrote a new song, so he was playing it for us. The kids were mostly interested in strumming- so sweet. Now if we can just get Nomi to play guitar in the "family band" all will be well!! (If you don't know about the "family band"- according to Ethan- Josiah plays guitar, keys and sings, Ethan plays drums, Nomi plays bass and I'm in charge of making macaroni! Yes, I know, he already knows at 3 that I have no musical ability.)

Prayer Answered!

This is the cutest story that Christal (Josiah's sister) told me today:

This morning Vallerie (the kid's oldest cousin- she's almost 4) wanted to pray for Ethan and Naomi- which is just so sweet. So she prayed to God that we'd have a good
day and that they'd be good.

So, oblivious to this myself, we started our day and all was going smoothly. No timeouts, no major problems. I even commented to Ethan that it was a great day!

This afternoon, Christal told me over Facebook about Val's prayer and asked how the day was going... I just smiled and said, "Thanks God!" And told Christal that Val's prayer had worked and asked, "Can you say that prayer every morning please??!"

We laughed and agreed- every morning, we're praying that one another's kids are good and that we all have a good day! Anyone else want to join the prayer circle? :)
