Winter time is shop time around here. It’s either too cold or too muddy to work on outside projects. Also, there is generally machinery in need of repair. (It seems like there is ALWAYS machinery in need of repair!)

Sometimes, though, my husband has a couple of hours to spend helping the kids build one of their latest projects. On this day, my oldest son decided to build a birdhouse.

I always enjoy watching the interaction between them. My son still believes that his father holds all of the answers to his many, many questions. He believes that his Dad can do anything. In a few short years my son will be a teenager. Chances are at that time he will be amazed at how little his parents truly know.

So, I try to enjoy these moments, knowing they may be short-lived.
