My children have made me so proud; not in a prideful way, but proud in that they are learning a very important trait: to be compassionate, like Jesus. I'm thankful and in awe of how they are learning and applying what we have taught them. You see, the earthquake in Haiti is the first natural disaster they are old enough to understand, and really, they don't understand it on level that we as adults do. But, here's what they know: they've seen some images on
tv, they know people are in pain, and are sad, many have died and others have been left with absolutely nothing. They also know that Daddy has been working long, busy days helping with the disaster in Haiti; which leads to more interest in it.
Jannah & Jordan have been moved by this; they're hearts have become involved!
Jannah came home last week and told me that her school was collecting money for Haiti, they wanted to raise enough money for a water well. She was very matter of fact, and said "what ever is in my allowance jar, I want to give to Haiti." The very next day, she did just that. Jordan who has had a difficult time sharing what money he has also declared to me, "I would give all my money to Haiti." I love seeing God work in their little hearts and minds. Just this morning
Jannah showed me her prayer journal, and she had written a prayer for Haiti. I know it's horrible over there and I know that country has a lot to do to be at a functioning level again; I also know that our military is providing much aid, which makes me proud all over again to be an AF wife; more importantly, I KNOW my J and J are learning something very important: the likeness of Christ.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:3,4
"Be kind and compassionate toward one another." Ephesians 4:32
Jannah and Jordan had the bright idea of pretending that Jamison was their baby. They "found him and named him baby Sam." Jamison let them keep him in the special basket, aka the laundry basket, for a good little while; he even made baby sounds and let us dote on him...it was entertaining and sweet!
Jannah cheered for the first time at an UPWARD basketball game. What a neat program to participate in. She learns bible verses and is encouraged to do the right thing while they learn life lessons and biblical principles. She really had fun and said her favorite part was doing the cheer in the middle of the court during halftime! 
All three kids took an ~almost, overflowing bubble bath in the jacuzzi~
Jamison has found another use for his race car track...a ball track!
