Mason and I spent some quality time under the hood today. It was such a fun time to share with Mason teaching him what an Oil filter was, and how to remove the drain plug without getting oil on your hands. He topped off the wiper fluids in all the cars while I changed the transmission fluid in the van. We later serviced the tractor, he learned what a grease zirk was for and he is getting pretty quick with the wrenches too. He reminds me a lot of me when I was his age, takes a little nudging to get him out there but once he is there he is on the job. He sure loved the creeper too.
That covers some of what dad taught. Now for Mom, tonight we planted the starts for our garden this summer. Alexis and Lily are going to try their luck with watermelon. I am just excited to get some tomato’s and jalapenos for making fresh salsa. We planted 72 starts of all kinds of good stuff. It was fun to feel the spirit of Mom as we planted these tender little seeds. She taught us so much about little things that become great later on. Thanks Mom and Dad.

Thanks for passing on only the good stuff. Children are such great work and play companions. There’s something special about covenant relationships.

Very cool, way to pass the torch along…I am a bit nervous about the garden bit we have never really had much luck with those so hopefully mom’s got the soil up in her spot all seasoned so we will have an abundant crop this year so the kids can learn to work too.
