The Kids

Well, I don't actually have any pictures to post but thought I would do a quick post about the kids and stuff going on with them.

First, Josh found out last week that he got the lead role in the next school play entitled "Audience". It's set in London so he gets to practice his British accent! It's going to be a quick turn-around because the play is set for December 11, 12 & 13 and he has to have his lines memorized by this week and they just got the script last Thursday!! So, needless to say, he's busy. He's also started his practices for the science team and he sang with the youth praise band a couple of weeks ago.

Ian is enjoying our church's Wednesday night activities and is absolutely loving hockey. He's doing really well with his schooling and we're in week 12. We've been learning all about different countries and World History plus just finished reading as a family "Gladys Aylward." What a truly remarkable story about the way God works! He's doing well with his Math but his favorite is Science and he especially loves Fridays that are our "experiment" days!

Ellie is still growing. She's been a little under the weather in the last week with a runny nose and cough and the last couple of days a decreased appetite but we keep praying she'll get over it soon. One thing that Ellie started doing recently that really surprised me is whistling! I was whistling while taking her out to the car one day and I had stopped but I still heard a whistle - it was Ellie! Now she can do it on purpose and it's so cute! She is 17 months now and finally seems to be wearing about a size 12 months! She will cuddle dolls and stuffed animals and pat them while she holds them - simply adorable.
