On the road again...

Josh is off to Pennsylvania and Maryland as we speak and has the opportunity to share with two churches during this very short weekend!

He'll arrive in Baltimore mid-morning, drive up to Harrisburg area, visit with my (Abby's) sister, and then meet with a missions' team and attend a Saturday evening service. He'll get the chance to spend the night with our very good friends in Harrisburg and therefore drive on very little sleep back down to Maryland Sunday morning for a church service. He'll spend the day with a fantastic church plant in Maryland, attending and sharing in the morning service and the evening fellowship, spend the night with new friends there and drive himself back to the airport early on Monday morning to fly home.

I, unfortunately, can't pick him up at the airport because Ana has her first dentist appointment on Monday morning (scheduled months ago!) so I will somehow take baby Noah and Ana to that appointment while Gracie is at school and poor Josh will take the bus home from the airport.

Please pray for all these details, but more importantly for the right connections and blessed new friendships to come from this trip while God's glory is spread! Continue to pray for us as we seek to raise our children in a way that shapes their hearts to love God!

A year ago, my friend Rachel http://josiecomehome.blogspot.com/ emailed a photo of her beautiful son standing on his own... I've since dreamed of having a photo to post of Gracie doing the same thing. It was always one of those wild-don't-think-it'll-ever-happen kind of dreams, a romantic, fairy tale type of dream. But this week, Gracie made another leap in development and muscle tone. It started when I leaned her up against the wall and planted her feet a shoulder-width apart. For the first time, she didn't lunge for the safety of my arms or hands, but rather, she allowed herself to stand steadily on her own two feet and she kept her center of gravity centered over her feet instead of wildly in front of her or to one side or the other. She even quickly figured out that she couldn't lurch around in excitement while standing on her own two feet with no support but a wall behind her back, but rather had to express her excitement over this new development with a gentl...

Family of Three!

We are in Liberia - the electricity goes in and out because the generator is having trouble keeping up these days! So hopefully it will stay on long enough to post and the internet connection will allow me this luxury! We were united with precious Gracie on Thanksgiving day - I will write more about this later. But, oh! is Gracie a joy! She is so beautiful, so joyfilled, and a bit mischievious. Her physical limitations do not permit her to accomplish much mischief, but we can tell that she is trying to push some limits already. If we were not in love with her already, she is irresitable and such a treasure and blessing from God. In our two days together, she has not cried once. She spends most of her days smiling, she loves to snuggle (good match for us!), and has the most contagious laugh! Life takes more effort for her - her cerebral palsy is moderate and every activity is a challenge and is clearly tiring for her. Meal times (which she loves) take a long time and much patience and d...
