What great gift ideas for Kevin -- envelopes, paper pad, colored pencils, a Veggie Tales book of devotions for boys, and more!
The weather has been so inclement that we have not taken Guinness to doggie park since Kevin has been here. Today was our final day, first break in the weather to take him, and his 6th birthday! Kevin brought a frisbee from his home to play with Guinness and the other dogs at doggie park. Maggie, the yellow lab, came to play today too.
Guinness is getting some birthday pets from Maggie's dad.
Kevin is saying "Ouch!" after touching the spruce tree!
Later today as we saw more spruce trees along the road, he asked why we have so many spruce trees in Canada when they hurt!
He brought home some chunks of asphalt from doggie park. Boys! He said he knew where to put them that they would look nice. Yeah... right... LOL
The small stone on top of a piece of asphalt is heart shaped. Mrs. Thompson told us, when we see something heart shaped, it is a love message from Mommy. Before finding the stone, I saw a heart shaped groove in one of the boulders behind our house. When I pointed it out, he immediately saw the heart stone beneath it!
The landscapers were working in our yard when we returned from doggie park. Kevin wanted to watch them.
Apparently, he not only watched, but helped! When he came in, he had a looney in his hand for helping them.
He also found some treasures -- a pink golf ball and a snail shell.
He used one of his 3X5 cards to make his own puzzle!
Today is our best weather day. He rode his bike and climbed the boulders again.
We went across the street to get a closer look at the Glory-of-the-Snow flowers filling some of our neighbors' lawns.
And he climbed a tree and got stuck.
Just before dinner, we bought an Easter basket for Melanie's boys and took it to them.
We have had no tears, no meltdowns, or other evidence of the trauma this young boy has experienced. It would appear that having a new mommy is helping! However, at bedtime, he asked, "Will you always love me?" Oh, my! How could that even be a question?! He is so precious! We read a devotional from his new book and talked about what his blessings are. Grandpa heard Kevin say his bedtime prayer tonight and was impressed with conversation with God. He always asks God to tell Mommy we love her. He was thankful for the fun he had today. And he thanked God for his blessings -- food to eat, a nice house, and his family.
