| Celebrating the first day of Spring! |
Kylie began her spring soccer season! She is playing for the Butterflies again this year - same wonderful coach and teammates. She seems to "get" the game a little better and especially enjoys defending the goal. We are in the second semester of her preschool year with Classical Conversations. It has been a good year educationally & socially. Now we are in R&D mode as to what we will choose for kindergarten.

Avery has been battling sickness for a long time now - a chronic low-grade infection that traditional medicine wanted to treat with repeat rounds antibiotics every few months. Thankfully, we have found a naturopath doctor that has helped us treat the causes rather than symptoms only. For the first time in over a year Avery is free of her cough and allergy symptoms. We are taking relief in her new found health and humbled by our dependence on the Lord's benevolence and guidance. Societal advancements, such as modern medicine, lead us to believe we are in control of our own destinies, but this year of mysterious sickness has reminded us how small and not in control we are.
The Grown-Ups
Philip left early in the month to teach a short screenwriting course at a boarding school in Germany. From there he met the G2 team in Bulgaria to work on final touches of THE SAVIOR. The littles and I snuck in a visit to KiKi & Pop's house while Dad was gone.
When Philip returned I attended a 3-day workshop in Dallas for doula (pronounced doo-lah) training. A doula is a childbirth assistant who provides support and education for expectant parents before, during, and after the birth. Also, I ran my first 10K this past weekend! That's 6.25 miles and I did it in 1 hour 5 minutes (a good time for me!). It was Tyler's annual Azalea 10K which supports a local Christian foster home called The Children's Village.
