Jake is sporting the South African flag (sort of) facepaint in this picture, and the thumbs-up is symbolic of his week. He really had a great week this week!
Jake went to school every day this so that he could practice for his upcoming concert on the 22nd. He has some songs with motions that he does with his class. He is a thundercloud and the yellow stripe in the rainbow for his concert. He's singing the songs and doing the motions at home, so we know he is excited to perform.
Then, Friday night, we went to the mall for dinner (they have a really nice food court!) and unexpectedly ran into a school fair in the middle of the mall. Jake got his face painted by a clown working to draw kids into the booth of one of the expensive private school. Jake also got a free water bottle, so he was pretty pumped.
On Saturday, Jake went to a free trial leasson at a gymnastics place close to our house. We weren't sure if he would go for it or not, but he loved it! We're going to go ahead and sign him up, since it's really cheap and it's a good way for him to work on his coordination. So it looks like Jake will be a gymnast for a little while. It's kind of cool that things like that are so much cheaper than they would be in the United States, that way he actually can have the opportunity to do it!
Well, that about does it for his week. Daddy and Mommy just had a pretty normal week at the office, nothing too dramatic there!
Jake's Quote of the Week
"I miss Teacher Sharon, but sometimes she puts some of her favorite Deers in time out."
(Jake's class at preschool is called the Deers. We can only guess which one got put in time out.)
Praises and Prayer Requests
We praise God this week for Jake and what a blessing he is in our lives. We feel so privileged to watch him grow in size and as a person. We laugh so much with him around and are so thankful for this gift with which God has entrusted us. We just pray for wisdom to care for him as he should be.
Please remember the following in prayer this week:
-- Tricia's continued battles with her allergies
-- Unspoken request
Until next time,
Jeremy, Tricia & Jake
