Friday Five: Five Unique Kids

Dena and I are fortunate to have five wonderful children still living at home. While Big Brother is off at college,  the remaining siblings carry on with various family traditions and keeping things, er, interesting. Here is one observation about each of those five:

Seth is tall, really tall, and enjoying his friends, basketball, and schoolwork (in that order, too).

Allie is tall, too, and is gifted with an artistic sensibility and flair; a natural “drama queen.”

Saige is exceptionally bright and articulate. Good with words and numbers, she is also a gifted “drama queen.”

Tauvi is wonderfully content, very flexible and accepting, and an eager student of nature. She is also a natural “drama queen.”

Zane is  determined and a very good little problem solver (although I don’t always appreciate his solutions to problems!).

Now, don’t get me wrong, despite the many positive traits they have, my kids are very (very!) normal children, with the same issues and challenges as most other kids I’ve met. The four oldest have trusted in Christ and are growing spiritually, and in my book, that is the most important part of their lives - and the most significant thing to know about them.
While we are pretty tired parents, we’re grateful to God for each child He has given.
