First day of Preschool

Some have asked for a more personal update.  Here are the newest happenings with Phoebe and Samuel!  

Phoebe started preschool.  The picture is from her first day.  She has enjoyed it very much so far and the teachers say she understands quite a bit. When we ask Phoebe about having any problems with the language, she says, "No, I speak Polish." as if we are crazy for asking! Samuel seems to enjoy the time alone with mom and his toys without them being taken away by big sister but when she comes home he is all hugs and smiles for her. Please pray for her to continue to have a good experience with the school, teachers and language.

Wasp Bite

While Samuel is generally a happy boy he has recently had a run of tough times. In one week he had several bumps, bruises, mosquito bites (12 on his head alone), a run in with a poisonous plant causing blisters on his foot, a spider bite and lastly a wasp bite above his eye. Through it all he was a tough guy which was part of the problem. He never complained about a few of the issues so that we could take care of them right away! Both kids enjoy playing outside so much they wouldn't want to say anything that might end the fun.

This leads us to a prayer for the kids and parents alike. As we near the fall and winter season please keep us all in prayer during the long cold and dark days here inside the house. Praise God that we have a bigger apartment and will be able to share it with others! Pray that we would be a light to one another and others in sharing the love of Christ.
