Things have been so incredibly busy this summer I just haven't had time to update this. With ministry being so full of mission groups and VBS and camps this summer we've barely had time to slow down and breathe. My grandparents have also just recently moved into a nursing facility and the transition has been difficult on them and on our family. The facility is about 45 minutes north of where we live and it's taken a lot of time to be there with them and to try and reassure them that we aren't abandoning them to someone else's care.
In the middle of all of that is just the everyday's of parenting Ezekiel. And boy is he growing. He's gotten so huge and talking up a storm! He's got an amazing imagination and tonight we even played "drive-thru" and he pulled his alphabet train up to the back of the chair, looked through the opening and said "order chicken", "thank you!", "ok, see ya!" Got back on his train and drove off! He's learning the sounds of his letters and singing songs and talking in full 5 word sentences! This afternoon we took Tay out for his 17th birthday and it made me realize that it won't feel like that long and it'll be Zeke's 17th birthday. It's incredible how fast time flies when you are enjoying life so much.
In adoption news, we've completed our third week of foster care pre-service training with SAFY of Ohio. We're really excited to attempt to adopt through the foster care system. We know it might be a long and difficult process, but we will be giving much needed help to families and children and we're really looking forward to getting licensed and getting our first placement. Our hope will be to eventually adopt, but we know that God has the plan in place and it'll all be in His timing. Please be praying for us as we complete the process and get licensed that I'd be patient with the process. Doing yet another set of training and a whole new home study is a bit frustrating to me. Seems like there has to be light at the end of the tunnel somewhere!
