I've not blogged on our personal blog for a while & that has made me realize that I've not taken pictures of the boys for a while either.
If you stay up on the Mountain Top Ministries blog, you can see some of what we've been doing.
Tonight, it's just for fun, so, here we go...
- I don't understand why I can't get anyone in Canada or the Midwest to feel sorry for me recently. It really has been cold here in our part of Haiti. The clouds have hovered over the mountains for the last 3 days with drizzling rain & very little to no sun. The low so far has dipped into the high 50's. No folks, it's not 17 degrees & there's no snow, but wow! in a block house it sure is chilly!
- Wednesday night David had math that he just couldn't get..kind of one of those attitude things. In my frustration I sent him to bed, we were both done. He left fighting tears & by the time he got into bed he was mad. I talked him down from that real quick. Before I turned in for the night I made my nightly momma rounds & when I checked on David I shook him & asked if he was still mad at me. "Yes, but I'm getting over it!", was his reply through a forced straight face.
- I enjoyed having Stephen with me today as I worked at the MTM Laboule Children's Home. He didn't do much in the storage room, but he really takes an interest in & enjoys interacting with the children. I likened him to his brother Casey. Though they are both unique individuals, they are both happiest when helping & being with others.
- This month was Casey's last drill for the Illinois National Guard as his commitment has been fulfilled & he has chosen not to re-enlist. He will move on to find a full time job & take classes online to finish up his associates degree. His girl, Sarah, is teaching 5th grade & coaching basketball.
Ok, that's all for now. Willem, Stephen & David have left me home alone tonight while they are off to Saturday soccer. Good quiet time! Blessings to you all & thanks for your prayers.
