We recently hired a young man, Eric, to work 20 hours a week mostly with Jerard, doing his physical therapy and assisting in his care. 
As Jerard grows, he becomes heavier and harder to hold especially when bathing, since he cannot help us by holding himself up.

Eric is a wonderful care giver and really good with the boys. James sometimes cries when Eric goes home at the end of his shift!
How many pigs can you fit in a trike along with 2 or 3 people?

There was a wonderful school music concert last night.
Kirsten played in the Middle School Band. 
Mikayla sang in the High School A cappella choir.
The music was excellent and I thank God for the music teacher and Faith Academy.
"Living out of the center enables us to blend for a moment into a greater background than our own fears, to merely be still and to know that God is God.
It means that I don't figure out, I don't analyze. I simply lose myself in the experience of being alive, of being in a community of believers, simply knowing that it's good to be there, even if I don't know where "there" is or why it's good.
An inner stillness assures me that it is enough right now to be centered, to be in Christ Jesus and that gratefulness is both the heart of living and the heart of prayer."He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters.
Psalm 23:2
Brennan Manning, "Reflections for Ragamuffins", page 263
Psalm 19: 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever.
The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous.
