GOD'S SENSE OF HUMOR

as if we haven't asked for enough prayer -all 3 of the "previous" kids are sick.

Becca is terrible -fever, cold symptoms, terrible coughing...meds and breathing treatments are her world right now.

Andrew has the same issues as Becca, but not as bad...for now he's just on meds

Elizabeth just has the fever for now...but we've started hearing her cough.

UGH!!

if you would -would you add our health to your prayers?! especially for the kids...Becca sounds just awful -poor baby.


Biruk is doing fantabulously. He is picking up new words constantly and has become quick friends with Andrew. :) Today he found our pantry and said "MOM! Come on!"...so I came to where he was -he pointed in there and said "Mom?"...I said, "yes -that is our food"...he looked at me with wide eyes and said "WOW!"...the same thing happened when he saw the inside of the fridge except for his sweet exclamation was "oh my goodness!"

Whenever the boys do something right we have been telling them "good job". Today Biruk came to me and said "mom"....then he thought for a minute and slowly said "good job". He was proud of himself for saying something new!

Thank you for all of your prayers thus far. We can certainly feel them.

I'm so glad you made it home, but sorry for the sicknesses on top of your exhaustion, Praying that all are well soon and the boys will not catch it, too. I pray for extra strength and health for you and John since you're already worn down. And esp praying for Eyob.

Your sister in Christ,
