marit and her...


"ponytoy." her hair is otherwise all in her eyes and i still can't bring myself to cut it. i'm told i used to call it a "ponytatle." she often requests it and it think it is adorable. in other news, last night marit was eating a somewhat new combination of foods: rice, cooked almonds, spinach, chicken, tomatoes, cheese, onions. i was unsure of how it would go, but she took a bite and i said, "you like that marit?" she said clear as a bell: "not bad, not bad" and then ate almost the entire plate full. she is so conversational lately. i love to hear her saying such adult expressions...sometimes she says "let's see here." i say that one a lot. or "alright everybody!" another favorite of mine...these moments of adorableness are so important to balance out the two-year old troubles as well. i'm reading Shepherding a Child's Heart by Ted Tripp again (i forgot to finish it last time) to remind myself of what i'm doing. i do not want her to be a trained monkey, but i want to get at her heart, to help her confront her sin of selfishness and impatience and to look to Jesus for rescue. i long for her to worship God, not herself...i recommend this book to all padres.

three posts sometimes happen in one sitting when the kids actually take naps simultaneously, i was able to spend time with the Lord this morning before they awoke, and adam is on call for 30 hours over the weekend. happy saturday friends!
