He has spent his summer playing basketball in the gym. He will be playing in a tournament with some friends mid August in Minnesota. We will take the family because he gets to play in the Target Center and then attend a WNBA Minnesota Lynx game. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Lucy...puts her to bed, helps babysit, gets her milk...everything but diaper changes!!!
Luke's team won the county tournament in baseball this year. He also played on a traveling team and really improved as the season went on. He also ran a 5k at the Breda Fourth of July Celebration this year! Luke LOVES Lucy! We have a video of him at the orphanage in March where he wouldn't even touch her due to the amount of drool she had....total transformation for Luke!
Faith decided not to do sports this summer but she has been dancing up in her room, choreographing dances to her favorite songs. She is working on a dance for Picking Violets' song to send to her favorite singers, Erica and Kelly! She ran the 5k with me in Breda too...our first one and we plan on making it an annual event! Faith also LOVES Lucy and is a HUGE help!
Sam
Lucy
- she can walk without falling over every two steps
- she can feed herself completely and get more than 90% of it in her mouth
- she can step up on the step stool to brush her own teeth
- she says "mama" and "dada"
- she knows about 20 signs from Baby Sign
- she can almost do a somersault
- she knows where her bibs, clothes, shoes, food, toys, bed all are and asks for each of them when she wants it
- she cries when I leave! :)
The Lord is so good! Sometimes I wonder why He chose us to live this life. There are days when I question whether I can really clean up another mess of mac and cheese, or respond to "Mama" for the nineteenth time before 9 a.m., but God's faithfulness amazes us!
"...But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"
Joshua 24:15
