Hey, look - it's been less than a month since my last update and I didn't have to be reminded either. Amazing!
Samuel turned 18 months today. He's still a lightweight, just edging past the 20 pounds mark, but he must be healthy as he has my perpetual "wet" nose it seems. :)
He's able to climb out of his crib now though I made him upset today by replacing his mattress with cardboard so he lost 3-4 inches of height. He can still get his foot to the top of the rail but we gained maybe a few more weeks of "jail" capability. We really need that as he seems to not be grasping the concept of "No!" too well. Giggles and repetition of the bad behavior isn't the response we desire. We have a toddler bed for him, but unless we were to strap him down I don't see how we'll keep him in it. I may have to build a pen around it!
Stephan will likely continue to struggle with a moral decision for some time so continue to pray for him and us. Outside of that, he's doing well. He has a choral part in the school production of "Little Women" so he's excited about that. We just learned a few days ago that he won't actually be going to Italy now, but will be in Greece for the entire trip. He was upset, of course, but not enough to cancel. ;)
Sydney could use some extra prayer as well. He continues to just get by in school and isn't really interested in much at all, seemingly rotating his poor performance through all the subjects. We're not sure how to motivate him, and we know some children are just that way but it sure is frustrating.
We're planning to go back to Soulfeast this July after missing it the last 2 years. The summer is already getting booked pretty full it seems. I think we need to schedule some more family time off.
Thank God He is in control!
