Building a House for Mr. Hobbs

Manly Bonding

Katie has a pet turtle named Mr. Hobbs who has been her constant 1st grade classroom companion for about 4-5 yrs now, and today Jacob and I made a little house for Mr. Hobbs. Jacob is the best brother any brother could ever ask for, and it was so endearing to see how something so little could made my Kate so happy! I love how much joy she finds in the seemingly smallest things in life. 

As a side note, Jacob is really transforming the storage garage into a very nice workshop for his tools and welding projects!
