Ten little children came to our house for story time. It was such a blessing to us that we could love these children, welcoming them into our home and sharing stories from the book Mark wrote, just like Jesus loved the little children and let them come to him despite the disciples attempts to shoo them.

Gracie has enjoyed time with these new friends as you can see here:
Recent Gracie milestones include:
- Initiated and said 5 word sentence upon seeing milk pitcher: "I 'wan' milk in cup."
- Saying her own blessing, she knows most of "God is Great."
- Interceding: lists names of friends and family during all prayer times (mealtime, nighttime, etc.).
- Walking backwards.
- Racing: she likes to say, "Daddy run" and then trots behind him.
- Climbing, any and every thing.
- Singing: "Jeezus wuvs me," "An-mals" (Arky Arky), "Winku winku...in da -ky" (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
- Playing with baby doll, pretending that she eats, sits, prays and even 'rock-a-byes' complete with "baby will fall," which is her favorite part to act out.
We are so thankful for this litte child and glad she comes to us...most of the time!

Thanks for filling us in on your work and Gracie's new skills. I think being able to walk backwards will come in handy one day. I love you and prayer for you every day.
