Growing In Many Ways

I can't believe it has been six months since Matthew was born!! He is now up on all fours trying to crawl! I'm going to have my hands full once he gets mobile. He now has 2 bottom teeth and can eat like there is no tomorrow. He is such a happy baby and LOVES his big sister. He lights up any time she walks into the room. Of course Lauren thinks he is a big baby doll and just has to help change his diapers and clothes and bring him his blankie. She loves to get in his crib with him and turn his mobile on. I usually have more help than I need but it is so much fun!!

They are both doing great at "school". Matthew is just as happy as he can be (especially since it seems like he gets most of the attention). Lauren is learning new things everyday. Most importantly she is learning of the love of Jesus Christ! She is coming home and talking about how Jesus died for us but he is still alive and naming the Fruits of the Spirit! I love Faith Preschool Academy! I love that while I am away from my children they are still learning biblical truths and hearing the gospel.

Things are changing at church as well. Steve has now joined the orchestra (playing tuba of course) and will be joining their class on Sunday mornings and I get to go to my class with all the people I love to be around. Lauren is signed up for AWANA this year on Wednesday nights so I get to join choir since Steve will be in orchestra practice. Lauren will also be singing in Lil KidzPraise on Sunday nights. She is so excited and cant wait to sing on the stage. For now Matthew is just along for the ride, but he will participating before we know it. I LOVE our church and the staff I get to work with everyday. I feel that I have grown so much being around all these wonderful Godly people and I am so grateful that my children get to grow up at Trinity!

Sounds like things are going so well for you guys! I'm so glad! We're getting for changes at our church, too. I'll have to post about those sometime. Glad the kids are both learning and growing. Hayden comes home with a project every day and loves going to "school" too!

So glad to see all the ways you & Steve (& Lauren) are getting to be plugged in!! I know you are excited! And well, Matthew will just get to hang out with Harper in the nursery! :)
I don't know if the guys tell you enough, but as a wife of one of those guys, THANK YOU for all you do!!! I know they are thankful for your heart & ministry!
