Oh how quickly children grow!

Isabel (G4) is finishing up her senior year of high school and anticipates going to college. Her over-protective father Levi (G3) has made it very difficult for Isabel to date. Just last week Isabel asked Randy (her new boyfriend) over to the house after school. She knew that her parents would not be home and thought it might be fun for her and Randy to go swimming. Levi came home a little early that day and caught Isabel and Randy making out on the deck. Levi was infuriated! How quickly he forgot what it was like to be young!

Sofia (G4) is a spunky little 8 year old. She’s somewhat of a tomboy. She loves recess at school and most all her friends are boys. She has a sassy mouth and tells her mom Yvette what to do all the time. Levi thinks it’s funny and hardly corrects her behavior. Instead, he takes Sofia outside to kick the ball around or they wrestle. The other morning Yvette had an early appointment and left the house before sunrise. When Sofia got up she demanded breakfast. Levi told her to fix her own breakfast but instead she almost burnt the house down! Sofia is a handful but she makes everyone laugh so often her attitude goes unchecked.

But family life is good. Unlike Levi’s younger years, he comes home every night and has dinner with his family.
