Many of you who keep up with our family are friends that we don’t see all that often because life has moved us apart. When we talk, I always get the question, “How are the kids doing?” I probably should do a better job at keeping you all posted on our three kids.
Piper, our oldest is now eight. She is starting 2nd grade this fall and is a great student. Piper has picked up reading very quickly but she is not an avid reader, yet. Her teachers have expressed to us that she has a special knack for mathematics. Her newest joy is gymnastics. She is constantly doing cartwheels, round-offs, and backbends around our house. Right now she is in the beginner class, but her coaches say that she will soon be moved up to a more advanced group. Piper likes to ask deep questions about the Lord. She has a tendency to want to please people to ensure their love. Coupled with the fact that she is a very beautiful little girl, I would ask for your prayers. She is going to break her daddy’s heart, I’m afraid.
Ethan, our middle child, is now six. He is going into 1st grade. He is a little more timid in the classroom but has quickly made several friends. Ethan is a happy-go-lucky child. Most of his days are made up of playing with his younger brother and sister or one of the neighborhood friends. He just finished his second year of baseball and is showing signs of great potential. He likes baseball but he is eager to get a chance at playing football. Both Mom and Dad are holding the reigns back on this one for right now. Ethan is not overly concerned with too much, this may cause him to struggle with academics. Ethan loves to help his dad with church work. We call him the associate pastor. Ethan is learning how to pray. Pray for him that he will meet Jesus in a real and authentic way.
Jedidiah, the youngest is now two. He is a handful. He is full of life and always into some mischief. Pray for Tarah, she is constantly by his side, pulling him out of dangerous situation. Jed has no fear. He loves adventure and he is a thrill-seeker at any cost. He is beginning to learn how to put sentences together. He has a few passions in this world. Number one is Baby Einstein videos followed closely by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Third place would be awarded to Eliana, the apple of his eye. She doesn’t seem to share the same interest though, but Jed is persistent. Even though most of the daily stress is at his beckoning, he makes up for it with his willingness to be affectionate.
Tarah and I are doing well. We are trying to keep a balance in life. Pray for all of us, we love you and thanks, for all that you do on our behalf.
