Hootie the Owl

It was nice to see our pastor and wife at church again.  They've been on a sabbatical.  Josiah is very content when we're singing songs but he has yet to acquire an appreciation for sitting still and listening to people speak.  Thus, I push the stroller around when Josiah starts making noise.

After church, Isaac usually asks to go straight to bed.  The hope is that we can get something to eat, clean up and get a little shut eye and it's actually happened a good number of times, though not today.  Josiah was in need of some attention and Isaac needed a little encouragement to keep sleeping.

Isaac slept really well last night.  I didn't go into his room until 6:22AM.  He was able to enjoy a little piece of his Grandpa F.'s maple candy as he went to sleep well last night.  Isaac received a lovely gift today called Hootie the Owl from someone who has never met him.  Hootie will glow green when it is okay for Isaac to get up.  He was excited to go to sleep with it tonight.  A wonderful nurse whom we once met sent this to us.  It is amazing to be part of the family of God; our family is everywhere.

Our pastor and others from our church came and prayed for Josiah this afternoon.  Josiah sat and played in his Bumbo while they prayed.  

Josiah likes it when you put him on his tummy in your arms and then fling him forward and back.  I was doing this and Graham was taking pictures.  Josiah was laughing so much that Graham and I couldn't help but laugh as well.  Both our boys make us laugh.

Thank you very much for your prayers and support!  We are so blessed to have you in our lives.

Blessings,

Elizabeth

Gifts: In place of giving birthday gifts, we would rather this just be a time of celebrating God’s faithfulness in Josiah’s life.  Josiah would love it if you would write him a letter telling him about something good God has done for you.  If that is not something you are comfortable with, please feel free to write him an encouraging letter.  Please send the letters to prayforjosiah@gmail.com.  Children and adults are encouraged to participate.  These letters will be posted at the party (unless otherwise noted) and then put into a book to celebrate and honour God’s love and faithfulness.  We hope to see you there!
