Things are a looking a little brighter this week. The babies are coming along. They continue to be decent sleepers at night, and are eating solid foods twice a day (sweet potatoes, cereal, bananas). Eli is an enthusiastic eater. He opens his mouth expectantly, and then swallows most of it. Eva’s not quite so efficient, but all things in time. Emily was remembering that Sam used to give a little shiver whenever he’d try something new. It feels like it was just, hmm, two and a half years ago.
Sam is coming along. He’s speaking a lot more in local language. He was resisting school the first few days this week, but then seemed to go enthusiastically the last couple of days. On Thursday I watched him go in and join a group of classmates playing on mats, and then head over to do the cars to ride. The teachers all seem to love him, and he really has a community there. It’s hard to believe sometimes how quickly he is growing up.
The rest of the week has been good. I always get a bit nervous near the end of the semester. I have several sermons coming up, then grading, different projects, revisions, etc. Stressful! I think in general we are more settled than we’ve been in a while, but I still find the general stress of getting things done a bit challenging.
