There is nothing deep or insightful here, just giving ya'll updates on things.
Levi had his checkup today. Doctor said he is doing just fine. He weighs 26.6 lbs and is 31.7 in long. The doctor said he wasn't concerned about his walking, because he can walk, and when he gets to where he can walk faster than crawling, he will start doing it more. These days all Levi wants to do is read. We read many books all day long and make frequent trips to the library. He is a ham and loves to put on a good show for people :)
We are moving (into a house)! With the help of our really sweet realtors, we found a house that was built in 1908. Over the last year some people bought it and have completely redone everything. They have done really thorough, solid work. It is 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with a detached garage and a nice back yard. It has plenty of room for friends and family to come stay, and for more babies!
No, we are not pregnant, but we are going to start the process of getting licensed to be foster parents! We are very excited about this. God has laid this on our hearts for the last several years, and we feel blessed to now have the room and opportunity to do it.
Ministry things are going well. We are still striving to build relationships with people God places around us. This last week I met one of our neighbors, who is a really sweet lady, and Levi and I got the opportunity to visit with her. We are meeting some people through a community garden we are involved in, and I along with some women from there are going to start a women's bible study. Danny is working on getting small group things started. We are also working on farmers market stuff, where I am excited about meeting people. We will have a table where I will be selling baked goods. All the profits will go to a feeding program through World Vision where they will feed people in the Horn of Africa, and all over the world where food is most needed. This week I got all my menus together and priced everything, and is made me that much more excited for it.
Thank you for all your prayers. Please be praying that our move goes smoothly. Pray that God would continue to prepare us to be foster parents, and pray for Levi. I worry that it will be a hard adjustment for him, as he can be a little demanding of your attention :) And pray that we would build strong relationships in the community though the farmers market, and that things would sell well! We love ya'll and miss you very much. We are looking forward to seeing family and friends this summer!
