Yay for more updates! The five-plex that John is working on is going up rather well. They have the roof on and a layer of tar paper. John says they are now working on framing the inside of the second floor. This particular building will be able to house five large families. Each home will each have three bedrooms. What a joy to bless a larger family with more bedrooms.
Child care is going well. What a joy it is to say that I love going to work in the morning. We now have 9 kids in the preschool room! It's been a joy and a challenge this semester. The dynamics in the room have drastically changed. We are really noticing the vast differences between five year olds and three year olds. Two of the students need quite a bit of extra attention, they have never been in a preschool setting. I am learning the balance of grace and timeouts for these youngsters. :)
Please be praying for the Milton family, their preschooler is in my room. His mom was hospitalized this week with a blood clot in her leg, and then found out they are no longer going to have a baby. Please pray for this family, as they cope with these new adjustments in their daily lives.
Our Current Prayer Requests:
- Safety for John and the crew on the job site.
- Health - we currently have mild colds. :( No fun!
- Patience for me as I work in the Preschool room.
- Our marriage stays Christ focused.

PS. We are still working on figuring out how to post pictures up. John's computer doesn't seem to do it, and my computer is being rather slow about things and times out before the picture has finished loading. Our appologies.

'life's blessings' are a good thing to focus on...thanks for the reminder as I look out at a cold (for us) and rainy day, hacking and coughing! =) You and John are 2 of our life's blessings and we thank Him for you two often! We'll be praying for health and safety and for you both. Love you, Mom
