Help Wanted

Our backyard has been a construction zone since we moved in!

We added on a Master Bathroom.

The original "Master" bathroom was

A.  REALLY TINY

B.  Shower did not work.

Therefore, we made the existing bathroom a walk in closet and added on the Master Bathroom.

It is all finally coming together.

We are really beginning to feel so much pride for our new old home.

The mason left yesterday and Kent needed a little extra help in the yard.

He called for help.

Aka.  Hughes...and we don't have to write Hughes a check at the end of his working hour.

In his contract, however, he does require daily meals, hugs, story time, fist bumps, play time, baths,  and "rock rocks" at night time along with "ho-holds"!

He has a lifetime contract with our family.

We think we will keep him on for the job :)

Hughes puts in a mean work hour!

Here he is getting instructions for the job with "the boss" on the construction site!

"Oh, Dad, I've got this!  This is easy.  I'll just do what you do!"





Hughes uses his tools double time.  No room for slacking on this task.

After the job is complete, Kent always puts both of their tools in the storage room side by side.

Hughes needs to know that his tools are JUST as important as his dad's.

We know the tools will probably be used tomorrow for something very similar.

-----------------------------------

I don't think Hughes OR Kent, for that matter, realizes how special this time together is for them.

The father/son relationship is very important for building a strong foundation of many things.

Hughes will always look to his daddy to see how:

*to walk the Christian walk...even when the road winds and turns...and sometimes you may even have to build your own bridge on that road

*to treat others

*to put in a good day's work

*to treat a woman

*to build and keep relationships with family and friends

*to react when things go upside down

*to always lend a helping hand

*to give...no matter what the cost

I'm very happy to say that I have so much confidence in Kent to show Hughes and Wiley these and many other important lessons.

---------------------------------

Shhh...Don't tell the boys, but...

many times, I find a window where the two of them can't see me and just watch in delight.

They make my heart happy.

Happy Friday!
