Acts of Kindness

Leah's first ministry, "Acts of Kindness", started last weekend. We are so proud of her!! She and her friends, Katelyn and Lily, petitioned their SS class, as well as 2 adult classes for food donations. They had drop-off and packing of boxes on Friday night and distribution on Saturday. 20 families were served.
I was so moved to see so many adults and kids show up on Friday. Some were bringing food; some were helping pack the boxes. I asked Leah what she thought about it all - seeing it all come to reality. She said, "Great. Next time we are going to feed 30!"

This experience humbly reminds me of a verse, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

6 months!!!!

Well, I had a great picture of Heath sitting up that I wanted to post, but I can't locate it on the computer! (I will add it later if I find it.)
Heath is 6 months!!! I can't believe it!
He went for his checkup today and here's what we know:

Height: 26 inches
Weight: 18 lbs.
Head: 18 in.

Point of reference: Ellie weighed 18 lbs at her 18 month checkup!!! Praising the Lord for healthy children. Such a blessing.

PS. Looking back to the 4 month post, it doesn't appear that Heath has grown that much. ? Different nurses, maybe????? Anyway, the doc seemed to think he was doing well. He is trying to cut more teeth. Stan and I will be glad when they are in and Heath will start resting better.

Spring is Near!



Yesterday, the weather actually felt like Spring! So, I put Heath in the exersaucer to enjoy some fresh air. He LOVED being outside. (What little boy doesn't??) Hard to believe he will be 6 months this week!
