Monday we celebrated our Landen's 5th birthday w/ his buddy Jared at Pump it Up! It's one of those places that has a bunch of inflatables for kids to jump on and slide down! It sure was lots of fun! Us adults enjoyed it too! Logan really had a blast as well! Jared is a great friend, so it was fun to share the party with him!
It is amazing to think that our Landen is 5 and will be starting kindergarten! He is growing up so nicely! The night before the party, we had a particularly important moment! Landen told us that he wanted Jesus to walk beside him and help him live his life. His terminology was cute; he said that he wanted Jesus to come out of his heart and be beside him. I think that the thought of Jesus literally inside him is a bit much for him at this point in time. But the point is that he gets it! He wants Jesus in his life! Nick and I sat on his bed with him in awe of God's working power in our precious boys life! He prayed a sweet prayer and I have seen a change in him ever since! This morning he did his chores of unloading the dishwasher and getting ready for the day without the normal struggle that has been the pattern. Then he made up this darling song - "I like to do what's right! I listen to my mommy and daddy! I do what they say! I do what is right!" It was absolutely precious! Made my heart sing right along with him!

What a blessing to read about Landen's day, Kathi! And what a wonderful song he's singing. God is SO good and SO faithful, isn't He? I love how you're starting them off in life learning how to serve the Lord by the loving and helping other people. You and Nick are wonderful parents, and I can't begin to tell you how blessed I am to watch you raise these boys, and now a little girl is on the way! How very exciting for you all! I hope you have a wonderful, memorable 4th of July weekend! Love, Alice
This entry really touched my heart. What a special boy you have. And Jesus is already at work in such a beautiful way.
