48 Hours

Here are some highlights of the last 48 hours with our son (in no particular order):

1) Watching him laugh hysterically as he filled some cheap sand toys we bought with tiny pasta and scatter them all over the floor of our apartment

2) Listening to him "sing" "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" with us as we take our nightly post-dinner stroll

3) Renting bikes and riding to the edge of town to pick up some groceries at the TESCO (European version of Wal-Mart)

4) Repeating phrases from U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind" while "helping" mommy wash dishes (Shout out to the Miller family! :)

5) Seeing him interact with kids of all ages including Angie's friend's one-and-a-half year-old daughter Marta, sharing his cars and food with her

Susannah and Marta arrived this evening. Hooray! How incredible it is to have a conversation with another adult entirely in English! Seriously, the timing of this visit is perfect and will help sustain us through the rest of our time here.

As we listened to our pastor Dave's sermon from James 1 on-line last night, we couldn't help but pause at the phrase "every good and perfect gift comes from the Father above." We have received so many gifts from Him directly and through His people. Wish we had time to share them all with you--we are keeping a list!

    Thanks for these glimpses of your reality - it cannot be overstated how precious it is to formulate these images in our minds. Two scriptures: "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to his power that is at work within [you]." and "Not to us but to your name be the glory!"

    Praising God with you and praying for you!

    We can't wait to hear him laugh and sing! Trusting the visit with friends is wonderful. Know we love you and are praying! Max's picture is on the fridge!

    So good to know that you are indoctrinating Max with good music! So fun! Love hearing about all of these moments! Enjoy your visit with Susannah and Marta. I'd like to know at some point if TESCO is good or bad feeling. :)
