My sister Valen took this photo of our
family when she and her husband Kurt visited at Thanksgiving. Here’s what you can expect if you come to
visit!
Want to hold our little ray of
sunshine? Sean Edward was born on May 19
as the morning sun streamed through the window.
He loves three things best: bath time, the first two fingers on his
right hand, and sleeping smack dab in the middle of his two old people.
It’s hard to get a word in edgewise
at our supper table. Leah and Willem
like to lay out every detail of the overwhelmingly original plot of the latest
Hardy Boys mystery they’ve shared.
Willem will probably point out the tree house he’s building in the
backyard. Leah’s liable to relate her
recent horseback riding lesson.
Devotions commence when Miss Meticulous
finally clears her plate. Maries enjoys
kindergarten so much she can’t think of a favorite thing at the end of the
school day: “Every part of it was my favorite, Mom!”
Can’t find Nathan? Look downstairs. He hibernates down there for hours at time,
perfectly content with LEGOs and the latest audio book. Eli’s acquired Nath’s former fascination with
all things train. Would you please read to
him The Little Engine That Could? B.J. and I are pretty burned out with that book. (BJ: Dear,
I cannot read this book again. I cannot,
I cannot, I cannot… Sarah: Oh, I think you can, I think you can, I
think you can… ;-)
BJ continues to alternate between
two jobs he loves: teaching and concrete.
He also started a small computer repair business this year – another
endeavor that he enjoys. I’m pretty much
the same, just a year older and (I hope) a year wiser. My days are full of opportunities to exercise
faithfulness in the mundane yet infinitely inestimable moments that motherhood
brings.
How the light shone when our Savior
was born! May the light of his glorious
gospel shine in your heart throughout the coming year.
