Light yoke, but no yolk

Noah Loves to Bowl :)

Noah may be allergic to milk...he seemed to have reacted after our initial test and reintroduction (drainage, sinus trouble, eczema, and even behavioral changes). So, now we're on to eggs... As if finding foods with no milk wasn't hard enough, now we are limited to feeding him foods with no milk, and no eggs. I must say that Kristina has done very well at finding different foods to feed us that qualify. Noah is a good boy. Pray for us as parents. Pray that we can raise him in a way that glorifies the Father.

Juliana is well...she stays happy all the time (as long as she's well-rested and well-fed). She seems to be coming down with allergies herself though.(or a cold)

Kristina has amazed me over the last few weeks. She's finding new and better ways to take care of us all. It seems like she's found a new spring in her step, and has tapped into an extra reserve of energy. I can really see her drawing closer to God, and God working in her life. She is becoming more disciplined with her time and more generous with her resources.

Jesus' yoke is easy, but there's much work to be done. I have found a greater peace and confidence in my salvation. I am beginning to accept God's gift of grace given for me. I am beginning to learn what it means to die to self and live for Him each day.

Thank you so much for all of you who keep up with us, support us, and pray for us! School is going really well, but we are gaining so much more than Biblical knowledge.

May you find rest for your soul in the One whose yoke is easy, and whose burden is light.

P.S. Report cards came out for our first term and we both made all A's.
