Children.....

One of the neat things about having children is to see their unique personalities.  Myles is a very independent little fellow.  I think it is important to find the meaning of a name before we name our babies.  When we picked out his name we looked at two different spellings of it.  "Miles" means merciful and "Myles" means soldier.  We liked the idea of a strong name like "Myles Truth".  He is certainly living up to his name!
 He is a sweet, sweet little boy.  He is probably our most affectionate child.  He loves to cuddle and give hugs and kisses.  He adores his baby brother and is sometimes smothering with the love he gives him.  However, even with all of this "sweetness",  he is head strong little boy!
 
 I think the hardest thing with Myles is that he is very independent and has no fear.  He has wandered off where he wasn't supposed to "following the dog" on more than one occasion.

 
 This evening was one of the worst though.  Marc put Myles to bed and I headed to the grocery store.  We have been out of town and we were out of just about everything.  When I got home I found out that Marc had gone back upstairs to put Malachi to bed and caught Myles coming in the window.  He left his flashlight and hat out on the roof!  I was literally shaking while I put our groceries away!

 
 Needless to say, the windows upstairs will all stay shut and locked the rest of the fall.

 
 These hay bales are a lot higher than they look in these pictures.  This shows his personality! :o)



 
                                   Madeline and Myles look the most alike.


 
                                      McKenzie and her "look alike".

                              
Goofy Mariah and her little "look alike". :o)  I think it is neat that each of the girls have a little brother that looks like them.  Mariah looks a little bit like Matthew too.

When we settled down after the roof scare tonight Marc said he knows that the Lord is going to do mighty things through Myles' life one day.  I believe He will........ if he survives his childhood! :o)
