Big Sister

Lucy really loves her little brother and most of the time does a great job with him. The other day she said I really love Elias. I didn’t know before that babies were so much softer than other people.

Krak des Chevaliers/قلعة الحصن

Our friend Ivan came visiting with his mother and brother. We loved being able to see them and even did a little touring around with them. They were very gracious to let us tag along- especially with 2 little kids! Thankfully Ivan and his brother Eric are great with kids. And Grandma Kee was wonderful and even helped Lucy with some reading (she is a 2nd grade teacher)! We all enjoyed spending time with them.

This a a castle dating back to 1031. It was pretty cool to see. And pretty dangerous with a toddler and 4 year old!

Putting up the Christmas tree. Elias in the tree box. The Advent boxes Lucy and I made. They aren’t the prettiest thing but we sure have had fun with them.

Thanks Giving

Lord I am thankful for a little girl to have tea parties with.

And a little boy who loves to vacuum.

Just a little Update

Lucy still really likes to dress up and dance.

KGB Elias

Wide eyed.

He loves to stick out his tongue and he loves it when you do it too.

They like playing together – not for real extended times but for a bit. They especially love their “yelling time” after baths. It’s pretty cute!

First Day of School

Kellie — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:41:25 +0000

Lucy started school yesterday. It was a big step for all of us!! It’s a little preschool near our home. It goes from 8-12 Sunday – Thursday. We are only having her go from 9-11. I am thankful they are flexible with us. She seems to really like it. Our main motivation was just that she was really missing her friends and really wanted to do it. We are glad for the social aspect and also for the Arabic, she will God willing, learn there.

Jail & The Old City

Here is a picture of Elias and Lucy in Elias’ bed. Lucy was yelling for me to come get him that he didn’t like being in jail. I guess she felt sorry for him and joined him!

Here is a picture of Lucy in the Old City. This is in front of Bayt Jabri- an old Arabic house turned into a restaurant.

Heaven

Lucy has been asking about heaven a lot latley. These are her two most common questions:

Will we get hurt in heaven?

Will we sin in heaven?

She just asked me these again a few moments ago as she is eating lunch. When I said no, she said – Wow!

It was a good reminder for me of how much I should long for heaven and to be free from sin!
