May wrap-up

Not much has happened this past week. I have a rare moment when I can sit and blog though so I should at least let everyone know that. Chris is showering off screaming children as they've lost the privilege of baths for bathing. The bath water kept ending up outside the bath so for the next week or so they get showers.  We are literally hosing them off with the showerhead and going from there.  They aren't to thrilled about it, but maybe they will learn to keep water in the bath.

School is school right now and work is work.  A is slowly becoming a bit better about minding, though not always. She is still the strong willed child, and we desperately want her to keep that will because in 10 years we want her to not be easily persuaded by friends, but now, accepting a "No" or "Eat" once a day would be nice. She does remarkably for a 4 year old though. G continues to be a fun toddler that toddles about and toddles into everyone.  He loves to walk around the church in the morning before stopping in front of the band and staring at the drummer. Then he starts a beat with a foot, his whole body, some hands, etc. and mostly they are all in time with the beat, sub-beats, etc. Because of this everyone at church knows him, and thinks he's the best.  Tonight at church (we had a congregational meeting) I met a few new people and they were like, "Hey, your boy is the one that watches the drums right?! He's so precious!"

Miss A is in a new classroom at school. She is having to make new friends, and rekindle some friendships from kids that were in different classes this past year since they were all over 3. (The school they go to has 1 room for 2-3 year olds, then around six for 3-5 year olds.) Her latest "new" old friend is "R." It was rather sweet when A and I went for ice cream yesterday and were talking about her week. She wants to tell R about God, and all the other new friends in her class as well. I find this to be a fantastic idea as she taught them all "Jesus Loves Me" in the 2 year old classroom. 

Chris made it through week 1 of summer term. Hopefully this week will be straightforward. Pray for him though as he is rather dis-illusioned with academia right now. Pray for guidance and what comes next for him.

Both May birthdays went off without much ado.  Now for a 10th anniversary next week! Hard to believe that Chris and I have been married for 10 years, but have and are excited about it.

Pray for us and our church as well.  There are some issues we are working through that will be trying in the next year or so. It will all work out according to God's plan, but hopefully all the people realize this and are at peace with that fact, despite what they personally think.
