Updates

Josiah will be one in a month. Crazy!! He has his official first word,"ball" and says it so clearly that most everyone knows what he's talking about. Partly because he says it the entire time while chasing one around. I'm now two months away from my due date. WOOHOO!! Please pray for an easy, painfree (remember we pray to a God of miracles) delivery and for a healthy, happy little boy. My feet are beginning to swell and I have to be careful how I'm going to stretch in fear of getting a charlie horse. The joys of pregnancy!! Looking forward to getting him out and being "normal" once again...whatever that means!

Girls' & Guys' Bible studies

Last night we started the youth guys' study. Kevin is going to take them through the book of 1 Timothy. They had a good turn out and a great time in the Word. The girls' began Esther. Mrs. Andrea is teaching this one and she did a wonderful job giving all the background info and diving into chapter 1, although she left us with the king being furious and burning in his anger...what a cliff hanger!! Good thing we can all read ahead to find out what happens to Queen Vashti. With Kevin teaching that leaves me to watch the kids. So cool how God led Andrea to our small group and gave her a desire to teach. His timing is perfect!

Sand Box

We now have our own sand box. I thought it would be lots of fun for the kids and I was right. However, sand outside has now equaled sand inside...and I'm wondering..."what was I thinking?". Perhaps, once the sand is dispersed I won't refill the pool. The things you have to let go of when you are a mom, I mean, can a little sand in the house really hurt?!

Everything is A Weapon

LJ can make everything, and I mean everything, into a gun or sword. Here he is shooting us with a piece of bread. It's hard to tell in the picture, but it was shaped perfectly. Boys!

Dad and Audrey

I found these on my camera. I guess they took some time to have a photo shoot together. I'm sure Audrey asked to have her picture taken.

Just Because

Thought this one was a great picture of Josiah =) Kay, these glasses showed up in the box you sent us. I don't know what they are to, but let me know if you need them back.

Parking Lot fun

I took the kids upstairs to the street where we park our cars and let them race on their little push cars. They loved it!! So, upon request Kevin took them up there again and this time he actually took some pictures of the action. Thanks, Kay and Les, for his new camera. He really likes it!

Sleeping

No matter how much trouble a child is during the day, it's always a joy to see them sleeping so soundly. This is what we found this morning when we tried to wake them up for church. No need to mention that they really didn't want to get moving!

Yum, Yum!

Chocolate Donuts for breakfast!

Stick Bug

I'm telling you, we've got some of the coolest critters here in Okinawa!! Doesn't this make you want to come and visit us? This dude was found on the coke machine outside of the church.
