Things have definitely changed in the last month. We officially moved out of our home and into my (Steph's) parents basement. This has been quite an adjustment, but we are confident that God is using this to grow us in faith and patience. This is a huge blessing because it relieves us from paying a mortgage and gives us more freedom to travel. The girls absolutely love their new "home" and it is great to be SO close with our family the last two years we are in the states.
Kennedy had a ballet recital on Sunday and did great! She had 15 people (family and Team Kenya family) who came to see her. She was so cute and very serious about her time on stage. She wasn't nervous at all and never missed one step. You could definitely see the leader in her as all the other girls watched Kennedy to see what their next move should be. It is hard to believe that Kennedy will be 4 on June 5th! She rode her first roller coaster yesterday at Kings Island and screamed throughout the entire ride. She let us know that it wasn't her scared scream it was her excited scream!
Claire is always making us laugh. She is definitely a free spirit and unfortunately has her mothers mean streak. She loves to pick on Kennedy, but also wants to be just like her big sister. Kennedy is in the process of helping Mommy teach Claire how to use the big-girl potty. Kennedy is a great teacher and is also very motivated by the fact that Claire earns candy for both of them when she goes in the potty!
We have two churches to visit this June and are looking forward to ministering in both of them. Aaron has been tirelessly working between his job at Fifth Third Bank and making calls to pastors and churches. As of now, we have 17 churches on our calendar! God is definitely continuing to bless Team Kenya! We had a anonymous family from our church donate Garmin GPS systems to each family in Team Kenya!! Stay tuned as we have a busy and exciting summer ahead!
