Greetings!
Elsa and Jonas had a great week! They created lots of amazing art work at school and have been excited to tell us what happened each day. It is a very exciting time as Jonas and Elsa have become really good reporters about what is happening and are able to use lots of words and sentences to describe things in their lives! They are increasingly becoming independent and both are very often heard saying, "I'll do it myself." It is very cool to see them grow and become independent--this also comes with a twinge of sadness as we realize that they are growing up and are no longer little babies that want to be held all the time.
Elsa and Jonas do love to give big hugs. They will squeeze extra hard and give a little, "Uff" while they hug. These big hugs make any day a little brighter.
Elsa and Jonas helped deliver dinner to the family of our friend, Ed, that passed away two weeks ago. They got home and kept talking about going to Bernie's house (Ed's Dad). It is hard for a two year old to conceptualize deep sadness but we did feel like they understood a little that everyone was really sad.
Mari and Dan attended Ed's funeral and saw so much love at the service for Ed, Laura, Jack, and Reece. We continue to pray for them in the days and months ahead.
God Bless and big hugs,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
