Recording the Love

Recently, Maxwell has taken to recording his feelings in his journal. In fact, on Sunday I went to check on the boys, and he and Micah were sitting in their bedroom with their journals open. I expressed my pleasure at seeing them involved in such a worthwhile activity. Max responded, "What? I'm just writing about my family." His words: "I love my family. I love them so much."

It is so fun to see a little bit of Max's perspective-- especially because it's a happy perspective! I was particularly pleased to see him include his mom in his journal. He brought home a gratitude book from school with pages for all kinds of things he was grateful for. Somehow I didn't make that cut.

Here are a few of his endearing journal entries-- devoted to Dad, Mom, and Dallin:

Playing tennis together.

Playing Skipbo together.

Computing together.

We love you too, Max.
