..... and a funeral

Eight days (and one fish addition later in each tank), we have crying and a little "art therapy" for my little man. He drew this one all on his own ... so he can "keep track of who had died, Mom".

Fish picture 'cuz we got some

Aiden drew this picture of fish to celebrate the new fish tank that he and Keegan each have in their respective rooms. They each have one fish in thier tank, becuase only one can be added at a time, lest we get fish illness and wipe them all out. So, this lovely rendition is what it will look like in the future. Except our fish are all colored, not black. And our water will never be that crystal blue. You get the drift, though.

A song about heaven

At our church's Creative Activities camp at the end of June, we learned a wonderful song that spells out the letters J-E-S-U-S with a special thing about Jesus for each item. I can't tell you the tune of it becuase it was written by a brilliant songwriter in our church, and the tune is not a copy of something I can refer you to. Let's just say it is an awesome song, and if you see any of us in person, we'd be happy to sing it for you. Aiden wrote his own version that lacks perfection with the tune, but achieves highly on originality, heart, and praise!! The words go like this:

H is for the holy you send
E is for the entire world you made
A is for the abyss at the bottom of the sea
V is for the variety of animals you made
E is for the effect in our world
N is for the net of love you carry around us
H-E-A-V-E-N equals heaven!
