Well I thought it was time for a little mini blog makeover! I wanted to drop a quick line to offer out a request of prayer. As those of you how live around in the West Michigan area know Grand Rapids Public Schools is in an ever precarious state and this year we are under the impression that there is a strong chance that Craig may be getting a pink slip again this year. Its happened before, we have weathered this storm before and God has provided and we have faith that he will again however timing is at a critical point. Sophie's surgery is supposed to be in Sept and if Craig does not get hired back than his benefits expire Aug 31. We want to get as much as we can out of the balloons and we don't want to take them out early but we can't leave them in indefinitely if there is no insurance. We need prayer for job security. The other main issue is little Sophie's balance has been getting progressively worse and we need to pray that she doesn't sustain any serious injuries between now and then as the balloons seem to throw her off kilter, a week doesn't go by when she doesn't sustain a fat lip or two and she is constantly falling down, it's a little sad. But she is happy and growing and learning lots of words. Hope everyone had a happy and joyful Easter and Mother's Day as we did. Sophie is going to her first Tiger's game this weekend (if its not too cold!) So that should be fun! Take care and love to all, Amanda
