Lily miniature golfing

Here's Lily (4 years, 4 months) on the miniature golf greens!

Emily's ouwie

In late September, Emily jumped off a couch at a sitter’s house, lost her balance, careened headfirst into a coffee table, and opened a wound on her forehead. Seven stitches later, she was all smiles again! The first thing Emily said to us, when we got back to the sitter’s house 15 minutes or so after the accident, was “I want Jesus to heal it!” And he did. The stitches are out, the scar is less than we expected, and Emily has bounced right back from the whole episode… Kids are pretty resilient. She tells people that she had seven stitches, and that Jesus healed her ouwie. Way to testify, Emily! “Out of the mouth of infants and babies you have prepared praise” (Matt 21:16, Ps. 8:2 LXX).

The joy of eating out

Emily looks happy to be eating out, in honor of Mini's father's birthday...

A book for a pillow

Emily loves to look at books, turn the pages, and "read" them. She "read" this book on the couch for quite some time, until we came and noticed that she had fallen asleep on the page!
