Kids Corner

As winter turns to spring, we are seeing our kids grow and flower just like my garden. They are continuing to grow both physically and as people. As a result, we are learning to pray and lean on God much more!

Aris will be 7 next month! Wow! She continues to enjoy school, especially geometry and science. She will be participating in her very first science fair today. After much thought, Aris decided to do an experiment. Although we helped, she demonstrated great initiative and independence. Aris continues to make new friends both at school and at home. She is very compassionate and friendly. Unfortunately, Aris has been struggling physically, emotionally and scholastically the last several months. Please pray for complete healing for our lovely little girl.

Zane is currently upside down. At almost 5, he is a little monkey. Even in his sleep we find him experimenting with new ways of experiencing the world (sideways, upside down, etc). Zane mostly enjoys school and is excited to be reading and writing "just" like his big sister. He is also very proud of having his art work on the bulletin board at home. He has a new best friend, our new neighbor, whom he enjoys loving on. He is also enjoying riding his new bike and is looking forward to participating in this year's Ride for Refuge. Please pray for Zane as he continues to learn moderation, self-control and obedience.

Our baby is now 2 years old! Kian turned two at the end of February. Bit by bit, he is becoming a big boy. His favorite things include climbing, running (typically away from Mommy), chocolate and zerberts. Although he is very spirited, he is also very sweet with the best giggles. Kian is beginning to speak in sentences and is increasingly independent as he tries to be just like his siblings. He is also determined to be toilet-trained. So far we haven't had any success, unless peeing in the tub counts, but Kian has decided that he wants to use the toilet. We're just following his lead. Please pray for Kian as he learns patience and obedience.
