Right now Pieter is outside with the boys running around playing 'no bears out tonight'.  The younger three are in bed for naps, each with an onion poultice around their dear necks to help aid relief to the coughing.  With whooping cough going around, it hard not to get paranoid with each cough, and I am learning to trust, even when they cough. 

Its easy to trust when all is quiet, but when it seems they are having a coughing contest, trust tends to fly out of sight.  I will not fear, but trust.

Today is our Rein's 5th Birthday!!!  He is been really having a growth spurt lately, not necessarily bodily wise, but spirit wise.  It warms my heart to see his attitude show willingness to try and willingness to take on challenges.  On one of our first sledding outings, he went down twice, then commenced to sit at the top of the hill proclaiming it was too much work to get back up the hill each time.  On our last sledding excursion, he flew off that hill, marched back up and did it all again!  At one point I offered to help him pull his toboggan up, but, no, he could do it all himself! 

He also started telling our visitors/or others stories of his life.  His vocabulary is expanding and it fills my heart with joy....all those times we stayed patient with him, are paying off. 

This weekend I will cherish each moment, each smile, each person in my small family.  They are way too lovable!  ♥

May your weekend be filled with joy, God's Peace and love for each other.  Yes, LOVE!
