At breakfast the prayer almost always goes like this:
"Dear Jesus, thank you for this food. Help us to have a wonderful day."
At dinner:
"Dear Jesus, thank you for this food and thank you for this wonderful day."
There is of course always some added lines dependent on the specifics of that given day and which person is doing the praying.
We don't often remember to pray at lunchtime, because it's usually me trying to get food into them as fast as possible before an early afternoon meltdown takes us by surprise. But Aviana reminded us at lunch today and her prayer made me smile:
"Dear Jesus, thank you for this food and thank you for this wonderful half of a day. Amen"
Big Brother
Cole is bursting with ideas, energy and curiosity about the world. He loves movies, history, biographies of famous people past and present, and sharing his excitement with everyone around him. He's always got a notebook in hand to jot down his thoughts wherever he goes.
Middle Child
A wild child when she's with her siblings, always vying for a little spotlight. But take some time with just Av and she's the most interesting, thoughtful, imaginative, playful, storytelling little princess. She's in love with her chickens, insists on choosing her own clothes, and joyfully helps anyone who needs a hand.
The Baby
She has her brothers flair for the dramatic and her sister's wild streak. A typical baby of the family who challenges you to tell her No. She's never met an animal that isn't her most favorite in all the world and she loves to share big kisses and hugs.
