Kings are back in business!

Yes, yes…it has been officially FOREVER since the ole’ King blog has been updated! Busy season, what can I say?!? Instead of catching you up on every single thing that has transpired, we’ll just post lots of pictures so you know there hasn’t been a lack of fun in the King house. Just too busy to stop and post it on here! (If you would join Facebook, you would see more of the Kings there. J ) This year has been a breath of fresh air in many ways and challenging in others. The Lord has been doing so much in us and around us. We are so grateful for Him and the freedom He gives. As the King blog continues, we will begin to not just share pictures of the kids, which I am sure you love, but other randomness of our lives too. So, since it has been March since we’ve posted, here is a little tid bit of what our little “King-dom” has been up to!

Grayson is now almost 5 months! He is an absolute JOY. He has to be the happiest baby I have ever been around. He smiles from ear to ear at just about anyone that talks to him. He is so peaceful and so content. He just started on brown rice cereal and is still trying to decide if he likes it or not. He is flipping over, being more vocal and oh so squeezeable! He's been sleeping through the night since 5 weeks old and averages 10 hours at night right now and takes 3 naps during the day. He loves him some sleep! At his 4 month appointment he weighted 15 lbs so he is growing perfectly. He is absolutely precious and we adore him. We are so blessed by him and are so excited to see the call of God on his little life. It is so neat how the Lord gave a mom’s heart a way to grow. I always thought, how can I love another little man as much as I love Taylor? But it just grew a little bigger and he fits in this Mommas heart for sure! I guess with each child your heart just grows a little bigger.

Taylor is 4.5 now and amazes us more every day! He had the most important day of his life on May 8, 2009 when he asked Jesus into his heart! It was such a sweet moment….one of those moments where you think, it is all worth it. Every last minute of motherhood has eternal value and is so worth it! Treasure every moment and use every opportunity to train them. Even when they give you a blank stare, they are truly getting it! Our special moment was at Sonic getting a beloved slushy and he just started asking questions. We were going about our ordinary day when something extraordinary happened. His little heart was changed forever. It was precious. We are so proud of him and the sweet spirit he has. He is a worshipper to his CORE!! We love to watch and listen to him worship. He is enthralled with music and would sleep with his guitar if we let him. He made a playlist for his MP3 player and he wanted me to put Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Paul Baloche, Kari Jobe, Gateway Worship, Tenth Avenue North, Third Day and a few others…..not too bad for a 4 year old! He knows more songs than I do. He is one smart cookie. He definitely keeps us on our toes. He is reading now and writing a lot. We have moved past the beginning reading stage and on to books! Real books! He is really into Dr Seuss, Clifford, Hermie and Veggie Tales books. He reads a lot and loves doing so! He has been a joy to teach….always wanting to learn something new. He is such a blessing and is so gifted. It is so neat at his age to watch his calling start to unfold. It is just priceless. I wouldn’t trade my time at home with these boys for anything. Everyday is a new journey and even though some days seem mundane, the eternal purpose is HUGE!

There's a quick little update on our little men. Below are a bunch of pictures from our last few months. Sorry to have such a massive amount of pics. Just wanted to update you on what’s been going on with the kings. It’s been a great season and we are excited to see what the Lord continues to do. Have a great day!
