It's official, Katy has taken her first ride in a car with her brother! YIKES...a little scary, but she LOVED it. Tyler was so sweet with Katy and kept his arm across her for protection the whole time. Katy just giggled and stared contently at her big bro. Blake and I sat back and watched them ride around together thinking about the future, about 13 years from now when they will actually ride away together and we can't be there to protect them if an obstacle gets in their way. Now that is a scary thought. Personally, I think parenthood is easier at this stage in the game! We can allow them to make mistakes and learn from them, but we can also protect them from as much hurt as we can. 13 years from now, that won't be an option. We will have to keep our eyes on the Lord and trust Him to protect them. So for now, I'll enjoy this time while it's still mine, and hold on to my babies and love on them 'till I'm blue in the face(pretty easy to do since they are SO darn cute)!

I love how Tyler is holding his hand over Katy to protect her, and Kendell is walking beside the truck making sure both kids are clear of any harm. What a great family.
