Gun Safety

My, my how Katie is growing up.  

Temporarily living in the city may have us crawling up the walls.  On the other hand, it gives us time to prepare for our vision of purchasing acreage in the near future.

Not only is the snake population ever increasing in North Texas but we battle with wild dangerous animals on wide open land, not to mention criminals.  We are trying as hard as we possibly can taking each opportunity possible to give her real world skills especially for survival.  

Too many children are "warned" about guns being present in the house and are given a "no touch" rule.  I don't know about y'all but the "no touch" rule increased my curiosity as a child!  So instead we have an "informative teaching" rule around here!  We aren't waiting for the day she decided to go discover on her own but instead we are teaching her safety starting with a BB gun.   

Mommas, it's so hard to let your baby touch a gun!  Even just a BB gun.  It's our very nature to protect them.  After Sunday's lesson, I saw a confidence in Katie that was incredible.  Not to mention Daddy and Katie have been snuggling more on the couch together.  :) May she grow strong in spirit!  

See! Charlie doesn't look too afraid! :) 

Daddy is talking to her about gun safety. 

The target?  We're in Texas....of course it was a can. :)

"Blessed be the LORD my strength,          which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:"  Psalms 144:1 "...But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a sack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one" Luke 22:36
