Early in the month Tikvah turned twelve, and had her first overnight party with a few friends. They included the siblings in some of the activities and of course in the cake and ice cream! (Seems Isaac's life is full of girls!)
A couple of days later WE traveled to Indiana to celebrate a grand daughter's third birthday! The theme - what else? Princess!
Isaac DID go to the party, but he mostly hung out in one of the other rooms with some of the guys playing games. Princesses, it seems, are not "his thing." LOL!
Then we celebrated the ending of a successful homeschool co-op year with presentations from some of the classes. This is a scene from Tikvah's musical theater class. Yummy snacks followed the presentations.
We're thankful for the happy times shown above where our royalty can just be "kids." The month has also been full of medical appointments. These revealed some significant health issues in Isaac, which
triggered even more appointments and tests, which triggered even MORE
...well you get the gist. Our Prince has some health needs that won't
get better overnight or with a dose of pills. All these tests and doctors are hard on adults, so I'm not sure how a child deals with it. We'd appreciate your prayers as we go to nearly daily medical appointments with one or another of them. I confess to feeling overwhelmed at times, and am thankful for caring friends who step in to provide a meal or play with the other kids while we are at appointments. I truly couldn't do this without their support. Thanks guys!
