We are all fighting different stages of being "under the weather" .... quite an appropriate phrase, since I believe the weather to be the culprit of our illness. Chest congestion resulting in coughing most of the night... but thankfully, most of us are sleeping through even our own coughing... those of use who stir every time our babies moves (who could that be?).. well, we are still breathing... Bed time has come a little earlier -- but not sure if that is the illness or lingering effects of time-change... NOT my favorite thing!!
Mikalah has regular intervals of outbursts during the course of the day... screaming, crying, wailing... whatever. If something simply strikes against her fancy - the neighbors know! It's getting old quickly, and I am praying for strength - but not patience! I know that patience will work it's perfect work... but I need the strength to endure to the end of that perfect work!
While I was uploading pics.. typing this.. Kyria counted to 200!! (almost all by herself).. WOW... she is growing so quickly and learning so much!
Poor Anya has had the worst of the congestion, her little chest hurts... and she has a cold sore on her tongue. She is such a sweetheart, though, with her sweet silliness shining through most of the time... but when she's cranky - WATCH OUT! :D
We had Mission's Conference at our church last week. Four missionaries in all with one to Pakistan, one to Egypt, and two to India. It was a wonderful time as we learned of the different cultures and needs... and had native drinks served (appropriate ones!). Kyria enjoyed all the videos of the missionaries... and wondered how their children could know those strange languages! :D
