We are all dragging over here (especially the older two/padres) from getting up so early! It has already been a very zany week, and it is only Wednesday!
Things we have experienced this week include: a dead car battery, mysterious vomit, lost Spanish-speaking girl on Anji's bus and Mami had to "translate" so we could find out who she was, 2 of our kids traumatized by unruly neighbor kids, found 2 week old petrified pizza in the oven, power shopping at the store with two kids due to an empty fridge & trying to beat Anji's bus home, rashes, scratches & a nasty bug bite, laughs, tears, reading the Bible in Spanish and English, cleaning, enjoying the beautiful mild temperatures, playing outside, praying, talking, reading books, singing, doing silly dances, laundry, enjoying a date yesterday when friends came over to watch the kids, & taking lots of pictures!!! This is just some of what we have been up to.
The kids are an absolute joy to our hearts, a precious delight! They are growing so much in every way and we are so proud to be their parents. They have been making us laugh so much! They say really cute stuff and in cute little ways. They have adorable smiles and sweet little personalities. We are learning more about how to be their parents and they are learning how to be our kids. Truly, all of us are a perfect match! We praise the Lord for His unending faithfulness - just like I was reminded this morning in the Scriptures:
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!His faithful love endures forever.Give thanks to the God of gods.His faithful love endures forever.Give thanks to the Lord of lords.His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to him who alone doesmighty miracles.His faithful love endures forever.Give thanks to him who madethe heavens so skillfully.His faithful love endures forever.Give thanks to him who placedthe earth among the waters.His faithful love endures forever.Give thanks to him who madethe heavenly lights—His faithful love endures forever,the sun to rule the day,His faithful love endures forever,and the moon and stars to rule the night,His faithful love endures forever.Psalm 136:1-26 (NLT)

I'm so glad things are going well for you. God's love does endure, doesn't it?
What a week! I must admit that Anji at the bus stop choked me up, but ...the mysterious vomit and the petrified pizza? Maybe the two are related? :)
