100 TOES!: Three weeks old

Tomorrow, Lanie will be four weeks old, but these pictures are from the last week. I think time flies faster every day older you become! Sometimes I think if I blink too slowly my kids will be grown up and out of the house when I open my eyes. By the end of this week Myck will have completed 14 college credits. (These last couple weeks have been grueling for him as he has been cramming to finish an 8 week biology class meant to be done in 16 weeks!) It is alarming to think that when Lanie is 16, Myck will be 32!!

Lanie is doing just great, settling into a schedule wonderfully, and delighting us all. This week the big event was our church network's semi-annual garage sale, which we do to raise money for an organization called Voice of the Martyrs (VOM). VOM helps people all over the world who are persecuted for their faith in Christ. You might be surprised at the number of countries where persecution exists, and at the severity of persecution suffered--imprisonment, beating, loss or destruction of property and home, loss of income, torture and death. If you'd like to learn more, check out their website at http://www.persecution.com/index.cfm During our sale, we met a woman who had escaped from Romania with her family because of persecution for their faith. She and her husband along with their eleven children (they eventually had 14!!) came to America as refugees. She will be coming to share her full story with us in a month or so.
