Joshua and Caleb
Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 15 August 2007 in People & Portrait.
In the Bible,Joshua And Caleb were 2 of the 12 spies sent into the Promised Land to survey the land.Only these 2 guys trusted in God's promises that they will conquer the land, which was then occupied by strong nations.
This is the Kids' version:
Joshua:Bro,we are going in to the Land flowing with milk and honey.
Caleb:Yeah and let's see if i can find my favourite Kokocrunch soaked in chocolate milk, or better still,oreo cookie dunked in milk..yums
Joshua:hey auntie,why are you still wasting time taking pictures?! You are supposed to send us in to Canaan in our prams! Move it!
Featuring Caleb son of Lawly and Tyan and Joshua son of Ken and Stef.They were 2 when they entered the land.

These two little guys are having a blast together; your shot captures all that energy for just a second, then after the shutter snapped it no doubt exploded into other directions. Great story line; they live up to their wonderful names.

Most cleverly done, tyan! :) I totally enjoyed reading this. And the picture is a VERY FINE capture of Joshua and Caleb, two VERY FINE lads indeed. :) A real joy they are. :)
I read your query earlier today in yesterday's post about whether I'd seen your reply on sending kids to childcare centre, so have tried to put some time today into another reply (which has turned out lengthy again! :) LOL. ) It's on yesterday's page. I really hope you find it helpful!
