Thanks Aunt Suzy for noticing Marand's spelling error in the heading ;) I even asked him if it had two 'mm's' or not! As most of you know and can readily attest too, I do not have the gift of spelling. I often make spelling errors even using spell check, and often on the word coming (as my sister can attest to)! ....so it has been kind of nice to have Marand be the errant one this time :)

We've had a busy week with the Thrift store Tues-Friday, dinners Thursday-Saturday, and life crammed in between, but it has been fun. We even squeezed in a free tumbling class at the recreation center (hooray for 'parents as teachers program'). Jacob did pretty well. He doesn't seem to be much for the athletic side of things....but he has been working pretty diligently since then, to be able to "hop like a kangaroo" :) Some of the others in his class were great at it, so he's motivated to get that down. As for the rest of it...it seemed like he could take it or leave it. but we had fun none the less. I think if we are going to pay for a class, we'll stick to swimming for him.

He did make it a point to go across the room on his own and sit beside the little girl that was having a rough time (lots of crying and temper-tantrum-ing). It was the sweetest thing, towards the end of class when she and her mom were sitting off to the side, he just strolled over and sat, as if to say, "it's all-right, hang in there...this athletic stuff isn't really my cup of tea either." ;) Sweet Little Man.

Would you please pray for our church as we are interviewing an associate pastor candidate....Seems like a great fit, but we are sure praying hard for confirmation for all involved.

Father God please mold us to be the people you'd have us to be, with strengths and weaknesses, may we honor and glorify You with our lives.
