Fun in the [HOT!] sun

Boy oh boy, we hit TX at a terribly hot time! The kids keep saying it's too hot in America. We're spoiled, living in the mountains of PNG! However, we're managing to have a busy, happy time nonetheless. So much excitement! On the whole, the kids have done great. Will is the one who needs the most prayer for ability to transition and feel at ease. His broken collarbone (he fell off of the monkey bars our first week here after four years of climbing monkey bars in PNG with no problems!) only gives him pain when someone jostles him or he falls into something, as happened tonight, but the FIVE crowns he needed on decayed molars really put him over the top! It was quite painful for a few days. The other kids' teeth are fine, but he is prone to cavities - largely because he eats to self-comfort, I think. Life is just a little more upsetting for Will. The lack of cheese pizza tonight was heartbreaking to him, for example. We got him some on the way to where we were having a supper snack, so it all turned out okay. :)

A picture from the zoo last week, thanks to our lovely babysitter Naomi from when the kids were little bitty! More to come, but it's bedtime now.

Love and gratitude!
