Our sitter sent this picture to me on my phone while I was working yesterday. It made my day! :)

Life hasn't been easy for Lydia this week as she is battling a can't-breathe-through-the-nose cold. It has made life difficult...can't suck on a pacifier in bed, can't nurse very well before bed, not napping well, not sleeping all that great, just an emotional mess! The first couple of days were rough, but I think Lydia is finally adjusting to this new temporary normal. We are praying this cold passes quickly!

On these cool, windy fall days we have started a new trend - watching Jeopardy together at 4:30. Yes, we are a geeky family! :)

         Little girl has discovered this rocking chair is perfect for her size. She loves to sit here and rock, read, or play!

I got to chaperone Jonah's preschool field trip to Morrill Hall (a natural history museum) in Lincoln this morning. Jonah's favorite part was seeing the dinosaur, elephant, and mammoth bones. 

One Thing - 10/10/13

I don't remember how this conversation started tonight, but Jonah blew me away and humbled me immensely. He said, "The baby grows in the Mommy's tummy. Then, she is born. The Mommy tells her about Jesus. Then, she grows into a nice, thoughtful lady. She tells people about Jesus and then they tell people about Jesus and they tell people and they tell people and they tell people. Then everyone knows about Jesus!" I said, "So one person changes the world." And he exclaimed, "And one person changes the world!" I don't know how or why this idea of spiritual multiplication was in his mind tonight. But, oh how I pray that he would understand that he could be like the person he described. That he would be the person who shares the gospel. That he would know that he could be the person who changes the world through the power of the Holy Spirit! And, how humbling it was for me to think about being that mommy who grows the babies in her tummy and that tells them about Jesus so that they can bring the gospel to the world.
