School has started for Mikayla, Kirsten, and Ben.
Their first day was yesterday, August 12.
Mikayla is in 8th grade, Kirsten in 5th at Faith Academy.
Ben is in 1st grade at home. He is enjoying homeschooling and has announced to me that I should homeschool him the rest of his schooling years. I told him we'd just take it one year at a time!!!
But I am enjoying homeschooling again!!!
Pray for each of them to study well, grow in wisdom and grace, and always seek first His kingdom and His righteosness all the days of their lives!

James and Jocy are two very special friends we have here in Davao.
Recently they had a dedication ceremony for Beth Mari at their home.
The senior pastor from their church led the service.
Beth with Beth!
These two wonderful people have a ministry with the neighborhood kids and families and are planting a church. Right now their home is the church. James is currently going to seminary to get his degree in pastoring and counseling.
Pray for them as they continue to minister to their neighbors!

It's really a blessing to see Jerard interact more and be interested in playing!

For most of Kindergarten Ben lamented he was the 'only kid in class who hasn't lost a tooth....'
but now he is making up for lost time!
He lost another tooth today and the new ones growing in are already visible!!!!!

We are finding out that Jerard really likes rougher textures!
Today, he played with coarse pebbles during therapy. He also was smiling and stayed awake the whole hour of therapy!
He was picking the pebbles up in his hands and enjoying having his feet in the coarse, tiny pebbles while he was sitting and doing other exercise...but he didn't realize he was exercising!
It is amazing to watch him be interested and awake and starting to play more. We thank God for the wisdom and guidance he is providing Liezel and us as we help our little guy grow!
