We're Back!

We're back! 14 1/2 months since our last post - and we're back! Since I last wrote, we've had a son, Joshua Douglas, and we are 11 weeks from our daughter's due date (October 18, 2010).

Joseph is continuing to take classes at Southern Seminary, nearing the end of his MDiv degree. He tutors at Langsford Learning Center, and he does a great job taking care of his growing family! This school year he will be doing an internship with our church, learning more about how the gospel plays out in all areas of church life and ministry.

Daniel is getting ready for 1st grade in the fall. He really enjoys reading and sports. We are using a curriculum from Memoria Press for our "Happy Home School." (Nice name, huh? Reminds us that the Mom is happy to teach and the kids are happy to learn! :-) The curriculum is very similar to what is taught at Highlands Latin School here in Louisville, where some of Daniel's cousins attend.

David is a carefree but sensitive 4-year-old. He loves his brothers, cousins, and friends. He has a twinkle in his eye and likes to tease (sound like his Dad?!). David will tag along with Daniel's homeschooling - he enjoys his preschool activities.

Joshua has learned to walk! His crawling days are almost done. He is a pleasant boy who works hard to keep up with his big brothers. His favorite words are "drink" and "out." "Out" is for out of my highchair ("I'm all done eating"), out of my car seat ("I'm tired of sitting here"), out of your arms ("I'd like to get down now"), out of the changing table ("I don't want a diaper change"). It's a nice versatile word! :-)

We are thankful for the Lord's continuing work in our hearts, our marriage, our family, our church, and our neighborhood. I'll use this blog to record thoughts, memories, things that make me smile or cry, and whatever else seems important at the time! :-) You are welcome to peek in this window into our world as we find joy in the Lord and on the journey God has for us.
