Good things

I feel like all I'm posting lately is my frustration, so I wanted to add some positive things.

Elizabeth has been as helpful as she can be. She took the initiative to go through her books this morning to give the "baby" books to Josiah. We had talked about this a couple weeks ago, but hadn't gotten to it yet. She has been excellent about cleaning up her room and her toys when we ask. She wiped down the refrigerator door when I was cleaning the kitchen. She took it upon herself to "clean" the bathroom for me, too!

Our social worker is AWESOME! I called her today to respond to a question, even though it probably could have been answered by email. I just needed to hear a friendly, helpful, understanding voice. And she was all that and more! She had me laughing and smiling when I needed it. She even called me with more information later when she could have just emailed me. We've told her several times we want to convince Grand Rapids that she needs to go with us. But she has her BIL's wedding, so I guess we're okay with that. ;-)

Hopefully M. is going to be able to take care of room reservations for us.

We thought we had a dog/house sitter lined up. Though that plan didn't work, it looks like another option is going to be a good fit.

Many friends have contacted us to let us know they are praying for us and thinking of us. Of course that always lifts our spirits, and reminds us that God is in control!
