Oh My, Oh My!



   I can not believe that it has already been 5 months! Matthias is doing so well, and has changed SO much already. It's hard to believe he was ever this small! Now, at 5 months he is pretty much half my size and is literally double his birth weight! 







   We have been so busy! I think we are finally used to David's schedule. It looks like this: 
Monday- Intro to Philosophy 9-950; Lifetime Fitness 11-1150; Christianity and Western Culture (CWC) II 12-1250; Hermeneutics 1-350
Tuesday- Marriage and Family Systems 830-945; Chapel 10-11; Theologians Craft 11-1215; Symbolic Logic 215-3; Practical Christian Ministry 3-530 (I will explain)
Wednesday- Intro to Philosophy 9-950; Chapel 10-11; Lifetime Fitness 11-1150; CWC II 12-1250
Thursday- Marriage and Family Systems 830-945; Chapel 10-11; Theologians Craft 11-1215; Symbolic Logic 215-345
Friday- Intro to Philosophy 9-950; CWC II 12-1250

   So as you can see his school schedule isn't too bad, and Monday and Tuesdays are his biggest days. He just started his PCM last night! He is in a group of one other guy and two girls that go to a Chinese school in China Town to help with after school care. He says that he will probably work with kids anywhere from preschool age to sixth grade. Yesterday he helped out the preschool age kids and said that it was a good experience (haha). He said there was mostly Chinese kids and one hispanic looking girl and an African American looking little boy. When he got there, there was a group of three little girls and this was their conversation with him; one little girl says"Hey, I'm Goselyn. What's your name?" 
David-"I'm Mr. David"
girl- "Oh! You have girlfriend?"
David- "I have a wife!"
girl- *gasp* "You marry?!"
David- "No her name is Audrey."
girl- *giggle* "No, you marry."
David- "Oh, yes, I'm married."
She then turns to the other girls and they all giggle.
He said it was so funny! I totally wish I could have gone with him. He said that the little boy mentioned above was sitting next to him when they were sitting in a circle, all cross-legged, and would just fall over into David's lap and bury his head into him. I can't even imagine David's reaction haha! I think this will be a really awesome opportunity for David to grow and become more well-rounded.

   Matthias has been learning so much and is finally rolling over from his belly to his back! He is now mobile, rolling from back to tummy and then to his back again. I can't believe he is growing out of his 9 month clothing already! Here he is modeling an outfit from the Sorensens (the family I nannied for);







   I have been getting even more involved with the women here in Jenkins as I continue to go to Student Wives Fellowship and am in a small group that meets every week. It has really been a new experience this time around being in Jenkins, God is showing us around every corner that He is here with us and that we're where He wants us. It is such an awesome feeling. 

   We tried Chick-Fil-A on Monday night after a really nice walk around the city. Matthias loved it :)


This last weekend we had Haley and Matt over on Saturday night. It was a really good time filled with delicious Giordanos Pizza and Dutch Blitz. 

Also this last weekend, on Sunday, Toni came down for a visit and spent the whole day with us :) We ate lunch at Yolk (a great place to get amazing cheeseburgers with a pretzel bun) and then headed back for a great visit in our apartment. It was strange not having the fireplace going in the backround! Then, the weekend before that we had my family over all day on Saturday. It was really good to see them and Matthias thought so too ;) I'm not sure why Josiah didn't end up in the pictures but he was there, really!





   Well , that's all for now. I hope everyone has had a great couple of weeks and I will keep working on the surprise and try to post on the blog a little more often than as of late ;)
