Well, Craig left this past Thursday for his mission trip to Romania. The team has many stories to tell, I'm sure, and I can't wait to hear them! I know that poor Craig is still missing his personal luggage so I'm sure his clothes are starting to get pretty stinky! :) But they are all having a wonderful time and learning tons, I know! Craig was performing a puppet skit today for the kids at the orphanage so I'm anxious to hear how that went. He loves that sort of thing!
I have volunteered to help out in Reach the Nations with Shannon and Kathy Ramsey in Stone Mountain next week. We will be having fun with Internationals and Refugees as well as underpriviledged kids from the area playing soccer and basketball. This is SO very much outside my comfort zone since I'm not a sports person, but God convicted me last night that I need to get outside this comfort zone a tad! :) I am excited to learn more about exactly what we're going to be doing. Shannon is supposed to call me today to give me more details. Depending on if we can get a sitter, Craig might be joining me as well. We will pray and see what happens.
Adalynn has chosen this week to decide to start using the potty. Great, right? Um, not really. She is refusing to wear a diaper--only big girl panties--which would be fine if she had actually used the potty more than 3 times so far. Not much fun cleaning pee and poop off of everything!! Why does she choose the week that Craig is in another country to decide to start doing this?? Oh the joys of being a mother! LOL. (Actually, I LOVE being a mommy---even when it's disgusting!)
We start the last week of Eileen's swimming lessons tonight. I hope it's not a repeat of Thursday where Merrick cries the whole time because it's not fair that he's not swimming and then Eileen doesn't obey when it's time to leave and I've got grumpy, crying children walking out of the YMCA facility! Pray for peace over that situation please!
We plan to start 2nd grade this week. We're going to take it slow and make it fun!!! She's going to learn so much this year, regardless, because everything is NEW!! I am so excited to go through the book of Matthew verse by verse and memorize with her some really awesome passages of Scripture! I am also excited to read the missionary biographies that go along with each country/region we're learning about. Eileen has such a missionary heart already and Exploring Countries and Cultures will only help to cement that love for other people deep within her. I'm so glad I was introduced to My Father's World and I hope we can use it for our entire school career until college!
Okay well these were just totally random thoughts for today!! Hopefully I'll have something worthwhile to write about another time!
