No clue what she's saying

Spanish Immersion works. Here's my daughter talking with one of her friends in Spanish. I took four years of Spanish and I have no clue what she's saying.

Routine...

Great video. I don't want to play it safe, but too often I feel like I am. This was a wake up call to me this morning. Wow.

Images from a mission trip...

These images bring back so many memories from my recent mission trip to Calais, Maine. Still thinking through all that happened on the trip. There were some very powerful moments on that trip. I'll chat more about that in the future, but for now here are some great pictures.

Riding a bike...

This week I'm trying to teach my daughters how to ride a bike without training wheels. All I can say it's not easy, but I think between the crying, laughter, fear, and moments of success we are making some progress. I think the biggest obstacle we have to overcome is the girls trusting me completely. They need to trust that I won't let them fall. Anyway, it's been a lot of fun. Elliana took a huge step forward today. She rode by herself for ten seconds. Mallory on the other hand, took a little step backward. Oh well. Well, here's a fun little video of our experience.

Painting with my wife...

Yesterday I painted. In fact, the past two days have been spent painting. Now, painting is not my favorite thing to do, but the past two days I have enjoyed it. Actually, it's been a great stress reliever - it's mindless work and I see immediate results. As a result of my painting, my house is no longer yellow - it's blue and it looks great. I love the new color! My wife picked it out and she did a great job with the color. In fact, I'm always impressed with Ceci's color choices!

Yesterday we had a ton of fun painting together. Most of the kids were gone, which allowed us to get a lot done. Here's a little video from our day yesterday.

My daughter and her cousin get ready for camp...

This is what it looks like to get ready for camp in the Roberts' household. The day begins with a little worship while jumping on the bed.
