Partnering Together

Just a quick update on the boys. Drew, Mark and Ben are growing up so fast. In the pictures you can see that they are obviously growing physically. They are also growing academically, emotionally, and spiritually. It's so neat to see God at work in each of their lives, growing them into the young men that He wants them to be.

We're so thankful that they are able to attend Hinkson Christian Academy. It's a small international Christian school here in Moscow. The school has a little over 200 students in grades k-12. The boys have excellent teachers who really invest in them. Drew's in 5th grade. Mark is in 4th. Ben just started kindergarten. Today I asked Ben if he misses me when he's in school. He said, "No, Mom, I'm just having too much fun to think about you". That's okay. I'm glad school is so fun for him.

The boys loves sports and I've had to work at developing a love for sports as well. Last year they all played basketball and baseball. Now Mark and Ben are playing soccer and Mark just started TaeKwanDo. It's fun to watch them play and to cheer for their teams. I'll attach a few sports photos to this post.

Drew is not playing soccer because he fractured his foot last month. He has been very careful with it and it has healed well. He is able to use it now with no pain or problems. Thanks for praying for him. The Lord has answered our prayers and we think he will be ready when basketball season a starts. He's been practicing with friends during recess and after school each day to try to get in shape.

The Lord has blessed us with 3 sons who add so much joy to our lives. Pray for us as we parent them. Pray for them to become all that God wants them to be. Pray that as a family we will bring glory and honor to God in the way that we relate to each other and to other people that God brings into our lives.
