I just have to brag….
Yesterday, as Robert and I made the trek to Vermont, the boys spent the day at the Baglow’s house, and Kayla went to the Gould’s. We picked Kayla up around 5p.m. I told Kory and Cooper they needed to walk home at 3p.m. and accomplish some chores before we arrived home.
Well….
When we arrived home at 5:45p.m, we were greeted with a smiling 12 year old, a set table (complete with tablecloth, cloth napkins, and filled water glasses), a chicken taco buffet (complete with grilled-in-a-skillet chicken, corn and flour tortillas, beans, cheese, guacamole, and salsa), and chocolate chip cookies (gluten free, of course) for dessert! It was amazing! Delicious! Everything was even at a perfect temperature! Such a blessing to this mom who forgot to put a whole chicken in the crock pot before we left for Vermont mid-morning! And to think, the whole way home I was pondering what we would have for dinner!
And I (silly me) assumed Kory had used a Gluten Free Pantry chocolate chip cookie boxed mix I recently bought, but no. He found my Gluten Free Baking cookbook by Rebecca Reilly, looked up the cookie recipe, and made them from scratch! Wow! And they were so good!
(Earlier in the week he made me a chocolate cake to celebrate the arrival of my book!)

What a kid! And what an encouragement after a week with some hopeless moments regarding parenting and homeschooling. OK, so relax, they are great kids, and the Lord is accomplishing much in their hearts and minds.
So thankful for the reassurance…..
wowza! what a thoughtful, sweet and super cool nephew I have! I am way impressed. If Jonah ever does anything like that…smelling salts would be needed!
Ok Ok nice kid…but really – what is up with that pic of Rob????
That one should be your blog banner!
Oh, and by the by, Nate will be getting back to you about your blog question..or maybe he did..we don’t remember to touch base on things!
