A few weeks ago at Lela’s Gems Retreat a sweet young girl was asking if she could hold Karis. The whole afternoon she pretty much held Karis. She eventually asked if she could be my mother’s helper this summer. During the weeks that followed I kept seeing her at church and being reminded that I needed to talk to her mom. Well, it has now been arranged that she is going to come over 3 times in the next 2 weeks to help me with the kids. I am just amazed at God’s care. This happened right as we are finding out that Jeremy is going to be working overtime for at least the next 2 wks, meaning that I will have the kids all by myself everyday, all day, until they are in bed. My sweet mother’s helper will be bringing an activity to do with the children and I’ll be able to do some homeschool preparations for next year before we head out to Texas in August.
Thank you Jesus for meeting my needs even when I don’t know what they are!
Just had to share some pictures of our sweet Karis Elane. She went with us to the Spy Museum, because, well she goes everywhere with me…she is such a joy! They don't allow strollers in the museum, so I carried her in my Ergo carrier and she was wonderful. She slept for a lot of the time and never fussed once.
This past Wednesday we took a trip with some friends to the International Spy Museum in D.C. We met up at the metro and rode down. Lela enjoyed her Little House on the Prairie book, Nate kept his eye on the map to make sure we were staying on track and Justin, of course, spent his time playing with his friend, Matthew. He's the socialite of the bunch! When we got to the musuem, we enjoyed some quick fast food from home before heading in to tour the museum. The boys really got a kick out of all the gadgets, the secret tunnel and did I mention there gadgets?! Nate is really interested in Ninjas right now, so he was excited to find out that there were Ninjas featured inside. Unfortunately they do not allow photography, so all we could get pictures of was our metro ride and outside the museum.
On Memorial Day the kids had a blast playing with their friends, riding the carousel and the train around the park. Here are a few pictures for you to see the activity.
