Today was Isaac's first day of kindergarden. We've put him in the Belgian school here, so they start kindergarden at 3 instead of 5. This is him getting his backpack and lunch bag before we left. He insisted that he carry both without help from me. I did manage not to tear up until I dropped him off and got back to my car. Emily had to be in her classroom, though a friend did stop by to give her a hug (thanks Sarah).
It's been a while since I posted. That's mostly because I try to avoid using this particular venue for venting. Em and I are trying to sort through where God is leading us in the future (in the area of ministry), and that has really kept me preocuppied lately.
Claire is well. She's getting fast with crawling and can sort of climb steps at this point. She stands and moves while holding on to furniture, but she's still a few weeks from attempting her first "real" steps.
Emily is enjoying being back in a classroom. She's really enjoying the fact that it's a half-day kindergarden so she gets to go running in the afternoon before she goes to get Claire from daycare. She's planning to try her first half marathon in October. Give me another 7 years and I'll have her in a full marathon.

Isaac is so precious and I to teared up thinking about him going to school. Sure hope he enjoyed his first day and was not confused with the language. Just wish so much I could hug those two children. Emily, glad you will have some time in the afternoons before picking them up. Love you all and miss you, praying for the Lord's leadership in decision making. Love, Mother
Isaac doesn't want help getting his things together now that he's in school; he knows everything! A big "thank you" to Sarah. Oh, how I wish my arms could reach around the world right now! I hope you are keeping the video camera close by to catch Claire's big moment!
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference! God's will never leads you where God's grace will not keep you!
Love to all of you! Mother
