Wesley's Cahs

Its a Saturday and I've got both my men (big and tiny) home with me today. Adam has a rare Saturday off of work and is installing our new front door! I'll send out a picture when he completes the task. For now he's off to Lowe's to buy some much needed parts for the door so we're not stuck with a big hole in the front of our house tonight! Wesley has been fascinated with what his "dah" has been doing. We had to block his access to the front door so that any flying debris or tools wouldn't hurt him and he definitely let us know that was not acceptable in his world. He has been pretty whiny today. Up until today, we had a string of very good behavior days, so on our trip to Wal-Mart yesterday, I decided that it was time to reward Wesley and add a few more cars to our already growing collection. Wesley loves his "cahs" and trucks and will entertain himself for hours just pushing them along the carpet, rolling them around in the kitchen, playing with them on the coffee table or entertainment cabinet. Here is a picture of the new acquistions: A cartoonish classic car, a Matchbox Camaro Concept car, and a CAT truck. He favors the Camaro - I know, I know, Matchbox cars are for children ages 3 and older, but I had a moment of weakness. Like father, like son (Adam loves Camaros)!


So, that's been our day thus far. The tiny man is down for a nap right now which is good for all of us in the house. I always look forward to nap time (we're down to one a day now). Its a good time for me to shower, sleep, or work on my Bible Study. I'm in a group study on Thursday mornings and we've been working on Beth Moore's Stepping Up: A Journey through the Psalms of Ascent. It has been very good, but I admit completing five days of homework each week can be a little tricky with a toddler in the house. I have never done a study on the Psalms before and I didn't realize that there were even Psalms of Ascent, but there are! Psalms 120-134 and they talk about the pilgrims journey to Jerusalem to celebrate the Three Great Feasts (Unleavened Bread, Weeks, and Tabernacles). I enjoy the depth that Beth goes to in her Bible Studies. She really digs into Scripture and pulls out things that I never would have seen in certain verses. It makes me really want to study the Bible more and I have to be careful because I sometimes think that I can be like Beth Moore when studying the Bible. I have to remember that she has a lot of resources to help her in her studies, and while I can have those same resources at my fingertips also, sometimes its just good to sit under someone and listen.
Since Wesley is napping right now, I'm going to take advantage of this time and go do something else that's productive!
