Mac 'N Cheese & Building Blocks

Mom, guess what my favorite job is?”

“What?”

“Making dinner. I LOVE making dinner!!” Picture her expressive eyes lifting on the word LOVE.

So, tonight, I helped her make mac n' cheese.

As long as there is a recipe & adult supervision…..we won’t fear for our tastebuds!!

The girls are also really getting into building w/ blocks, perhaps practicing for when they have a baby brother to play w/???

Busily, Ana places blocks carefully where she wants them.

But, if her project is not up out of Ruth’s way, baby comes to “help” Ana build……usually resulting in screams of agony over destroyed masterpieces…..

These are some of the little lessons Ana is daily learning….& lest you think WE have learned it all (ha! ha!), we are learning too, about how to teach Ana patience & Ruth gentleness….

Actually, I think Dave & I are learning more THAN the girls….(& a lot FROM the girls)

Ana's first attempt.......

Ahhhh....finally, a Ruth-proof location!!!

Please continue to pray for our case…..we want good news soon! The next thing we should hear is that Nathaniel is legally ours & that we will be able to bring him home w/ in a month or so…..

I was reminded today of the passage where Jesus calms the storm on the sea. In Matthew 8:26b, God’s Word says:

“Then He arose & rebuked the winds & the sea. AND THERE WAS A GREAT CALM.”

Is there a “storm” in my life today? Is there a storm in yours? Jesus is in the business of calming storms, but just like the disciples, we must ask Him.
