Half in School

Published on myspace on Thurs., Aug. 20, 2007

Alex and I have both been sick with walking pnuemonia for the past 2 weeks. I am just now feeling well enough to share a little from our world.
Half of my kids go to school now. Joseph started kindergarten on August 21, 2007. He is growing up FAST! And our house feels much quieter during the day.
If he were home right now sitting beside me (and he knew I was blogging about him) at this point he would probably lean in really close and ask me or command me to tell you all that, "He is a really great soccer player. He is a fast runner! He scored lots of goals last spring and his team was undefeated." So, I will let you all know that up front. And, those things are true. You are my favorite soccer player, Joe! I am so proud of YOU!
Joseph has been a real answer to prayer. Alex and I both really hoped the Lord would give us a son sometime in our lifetime. I am praying that God will help me to enjoy him today it seems like he will be moving to college before I know it. I am also asking God to help me to mother in such a way that Joe can become all God created him to be. Maybe I can add to this blog later. Elie and Sam are needing some attention.
