Watch us Grow!
As we ponder ways to help you grow as champions in the great cause of missions
– we are awed at how quickly our boys are growing too! Caleb is every bit of two and a
half: growing quite independent and very talkative! He is spouting off complete
sentences, and “reading” books from memory. His energy, silliness, and curiosity bring
us so much joy! And he is such a good big brother to Seth.
Seth will be one this month, and is making lots of strides as well– his babbling
has grown to include lots of different sounds, he is enjoying lots of table food, he loves
being read to, and he is cruising around the room clinging to anything that will support him! He will be walking in
no time– which means that we will be running after two energetic boys! He is very funny,
and I often think he does things just to make me laugh! Which is such an improvement
from the infant who cried his first few months of life! He gives kisses and “dances” and
brings a smile to our hearts!
Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your lives, it is our prayer that as we
partner together for the Kingdom, we would all be enriched and strengthened and
stretched to be all that God desires!
