The Proud Grandparents

I came to Texas when Danny was born, and spent the first two weeks of his life here. And I have been here for the past two months. I keep wishing that James could be here . . . he is so good with toddlers and I know that he and Danny would have a great time together.

Finally this week James arrived. It has been so much fun to watch them together, and to hear James learn to understand Danny's unique language. Danny has a huge vocabulary for a child his age, but his pronunciation is a little weak. It takes some getting used to!

They have enjoyed early morning walks in the woods, and all kinds of play and laughter. A precious gift!

The Big News

Michelle and Danny and I took a trip to the ultrasound clinic . . .

The baby is healthy and normal, and is due around October 11 . . .

And it's a boy!

So it looks like Danny will have a little brother to play with in Papua New Guinea!

Rrrroar!

Danny has been sick for the last few days. He had a temperature and a bad cough. It's so hard when a little one is sick . . , they don't understand what's happening. He was miserable, couldn't sleep, wouldn't eat. This morning he seemed to be improving, so I thought I would try to cheer him up by letting him wear his favorite shirt. Whenever we put on his lion shirt, Danny shouts "Rrrrroar!" (He's an expert on animal sounds.) It was so nice this morning to hear that our little boy had his roar back! He still gets tired easily, but he's on the mend. Thank You, Jesus!
