For those of you who like numbers, this is the low-down of our day:
10.5--average number of hours Max sleeps/night
90--average number of minutes he naps
2--daily trips to the playground
4--average number of walks
5-4-3-2-1--our signal using fingers that it's time to transition; also the number he can count to in English
1--daily trip to grocery store (Whoever invented the grocery cart with a kid-sized car attached--Thank you!)
6--the number of times we've been on the local "train" that gives a tour of town
10--number of minutes Max watches Curious George, Harry the Dirty Dog, Pooh, or Thomas the Train
On a more serious note, here are some scriptures that have been particularly meaningful to us in the last few days:
Psalm 13:5
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
John 1:12-13
Yet to all who recieved Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
James 1:19b-20
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry because our anger does not produce the righteous life that God desires.
Lamentations 3:22-24
Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail; they are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore, I will wait for Him."
Thanks to all of you who have been following our blog and responding in various ways. It feels a little self-indulgent at times. We can't wait to catch up with you when we return. In the meantime, we love hearing about your news!
Unruhs by the numbers - LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteMax sounds like a busy, active little boy!!! Good thing his mommy and daddy are in good shape - it will serve you well. There is a nearby trampoline waiting for him to jump on long and hard whenever the mood strikes back here in Carmel, Indiana (three kids and two crazy dogs to make a frenetic mix, as well).
MISS you!
Glad to hear things are coming along. The carpet at Grace is a little less worn with Jeff not being here walking up and down the hallways! :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see Max. Jeff, our friend Jeff S. sends his regards!
