We were in the car after church and Jacob asked where we wanted to go for lunch. Krista and Michael both said their choices simultaneously. Krista said, "Natural Cafe" while Michael called out "Panera Bread!" Here's the conversation...
Jacob: Then you both better work this out or we'll just go home for lunch.
Krista: Michael, if you pick Natural Cafe, I'll give you some of my Nerd Rope.
Michael: Okay, Krista! Daddy, let's go to Natural Cafe!!!
Done. Bribery always works with Michael ;oP
We spent yesterday in LA eating, browsing and grocery shopping with Coral, our "second" daughter at school there (!). Of course, we had to go to Beard Papa's which sells the BEST cream puffs in the world!!! There are two desserts worth getting an allergic reaction to and they are Beard Papa's cream puff's and Trader Joe's Mini Ice Cream Cones in vanilla. Double Yum!!!
School starts in two weeks. Already. It's strange having a child entering high school when it seems like just yesterday, she was in Kindergarten. I look forward to watching her get stretched, grow up and get more mature as she encounters new things at Grace. God is doing something powerful in her and I can't wait to see what He will do with her life!!!
It makes me think of the verse in Phillipians 1:6. In the Amplified Bible, it goes like this, "And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you."
Whew! There's hope for all of us :o)
