spring

our little family is busy. dennis was recently accepted into nashville school for the arts. this is a BIG DEAL. because his teachers are amazing, they let us know that there were options we should look into. so glad we did. dennis will be able to focus on drawing - something he does really well. he's interested in graphic design, and the school has classes in this. you have to understand that since dennis is only just now joining our little family, private school savings are not really part of the picture. because we live in a fabulous city, he will be able to go to a public school that allows him to do what he loves. crazy.

we are so very thankful for all of the people who have poured into dennis already. i mentioned his amazing teachers. let me tell you about a couple of them. mr and mrs ling are this lovely couple who both work at dennis's school. mr ling is his social studies teacher as well as his soccer coach. the other night, they offered to take dennis to a track meet, just so he'd be able to see what it is like. they took him to chic-fil-a, and brought him home. although the quiet night at home was relaxing and welcome, it didn't compare to the look on his face when he got home. his smile touched his ears, i swear! he couldn't stop talking about this and that...

in moldova, we know that people poured into him. those people are some of our dear friends. but it is awe-inspiring to feel that ordinary people who we didn't know just two short months ago, are willing to take a chance and spend their evenings exposing our new son to things he hasn't seen. incredible.

sometimes, its easy for me to miss the blessings when i'm wrapped up into the day-to-day. (who's going to pick up...what are we going to do about summer...why is our hot water running out so quickly). i'm thankful for times when i'm overwhelmed by God's provision for my family.
