Last week we had our cousin’s children come to visit us from North Carolina. It was a very busy week because they had two younger children and baby twins! 
  

Their oldest, Josh, loved the great outdoors.  We appreciated his help and good example of sharing with his younger brothers. Caleb, the second oldest, enjoyed cars and riding scooters. He really liked pulling up beside the house windows and asking for gas for his scooter which we pretended was a car. The two-year-old-twins liked to pet our dog and watch the coo-coo-clock. They had a lot of fun when we pushed them on the bikes. They also tried ping-pong—with any size ball they could find.

They were easy to babysit because they are being trained up right. Proverbs 22:6 gives this encouragement for all parents who will consistently do what it takes: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
