Only seven more days of school until Leslie and the kids are done. Actually, Leslie will have a few more days of post planning, but the big hurdle is getting to the last day of school. We're all anticipating that!
Just when I think Leslie is improving vastly, she seems to have another setback. I'll spare you the details, other than to say that it is more stomach issues. I don't know if this will be her normal for a while or if this too will end soon. I hope that for her sake it is close to over. Her strength does seem to be returning. Tonight, while I was reading to McGrooter and getting him in bed (one really tired little man), she was going over the catechism with the girls. When I went into their room, Aggie promptly recited the answers (with a beaming smile/smirk on her face). The Munch chimed in on a few of the answers from her bottom bunk. It was a fun moment, but McGrooter protested our seeming neglect of him in the practice. Leslie reassured him that she had taught him these things when he was younger, but we haven't practiced them. It was a good reminder that we need to have another go at it. Even if jealousy was his motivation, I was thankful that he was at least interested.
I'm pretty brain dead tonight and can't think of any more updates. Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for us. Sometimes it feels so petty sharing our life events on this blog, knowing that so many are dealing with so much more. Yet I feel such a great need for prayer. So thank you!
I pray every day.....and as I've shared with Leslie at other times, the Lord often wakes me up during the night to pray for her and all of you! I count it a privilage.
ResponderEliminarI was late getting home last night so didn't have a chance to call McGrooter, but loved his 2 phones messages about his puzzle. He is really getting good at them and I love seeing him work and work to get the pieces together. Most of all, I love working those puzzles with him. Won't be long before we can do that again.....he'll be out of school and I'll be retired! Praise the Lord!!! I chuckle as he reminds me once again that I am going to take him to Aunt Lara's in Pennsylvania! Fun adventures ahead!
Love,
Mom
Hey Seth,
ResponderEliminarI haven't visited your blogs in awhile, but just wanted you to know I am praying for you tonight! I can't imagine what you guys have been going through...we seem to get so caught up in our own busy world here, and sometimes I can't see to far beyond what's happening right under my nose! But I thank God for a full and busy life! I got to play organ (Hammond) in an African-American church this morning, then go to a festival this afternoon and evening where my boys were doing sound at two different tents. So it was cool hanging out with them and their friends. I thank the Lord for kids that love God. And they are all good and fun to be with too! We gotta slow down and just enjoy life right where we're at sometimes! Hang in there, you guys! We all know God is faithful and does what is best in our lives. But we could use reminders of that too! Amen?
Love and prayers,
Aunt Terrie
