Here’s Tristen and she’s getting older and cuter by the day (almost 8 months)

Here’s some of what we saw driving today. We drove up on a few thousand snow geese in a field. It was beautiful. And the kids favorite part… having the minivan nailed up and down with geese poo.

It was a belated birthday present for James. Every time we pass through Seattle, he sees this huge rock wall at the REI building in town. So for his birthday he wanted to climb it. Today was the day it happened.

I have to admit, I was surprised at how easily he took to it. No fear… none.

I’ve seen him climb trees before, but this was a thing of beauty. It’s incredible to see natural, God given ability at work. He’s found his calling.

He cleared 65 feet, no sweat (that’s a six and a half story building). He made it all the way to the top. I had myself a proud papa moment. My six year old boy impressed me (and the onlookers) today. Way to go James!

So here’s the deal. James has bubble night at this weeks AWANA. He’s supposed to be able to blow a bubble, only he can’t. So I bought a bag of Double Bubble and we sat down trying to tackle this. I can blow bubbles, but found it hard to explain. We went through countless pieces of gum with no luck. We researched it on the net and only found more confusion… It’s amazing how something so common can be so hard.
So any advice for a six year old on how to blow a bubble?
