Summer Fun

Hi there,

Abigél Pál

Let me start with the most recent news! My dear friend, Hajnal, gave birth yesterday to her second daughter, Abigél. She was born past her due date, but the birth itself was very fast. We are thankful to God for this new blessing in their lives.
And since we are on the topic of babies, my other dear friend, Fáni, is expecting her second child. Five of us were very good friends in high school (and ever since), and so far we have 7 girls altogether, the baby in the womb (or as we say it in Hungarian “bellydweller”) is the first boy!
One of the five of us, Noi, just got married last week, so now we are all married. I am eager to see how many more babies we will have in 5 years. From 2011 to now (2016), we had 7 + 1 bellydweller, so hopefully we will keep up the next 5 years, as well. 🙂

Last week we had VBS at our church. We used the curriculum from Answers in Genesis called Ocean Commotion. We learned about Noah and the Ark. Click here for more info on the curriculum. We really liked the lessons, and all the activities (songs, games, snacks, crafts, and science experiments) neatly tied in with the lessons. The kids really enjoyed it, too. I am so glad I could be a part of it. What a privilege!

Chris and I are grateful for our amazing church family. They are so dedicated and always ready to help.

Amy lost her first tooth the “old fashioned” way. (She had to have the top two front teeth extracted last year due to a bad fall, so technically she is missing three teeth now.) She just turned 5 in February, so it is a little early to be losing teeth (especially since she was late with getting them when she was a baby), but that didn’t stop the tooth. 🙂 The other bottom middle tooth is pretty loose, too, so we may have both top and bottom middle teeth missing soon.

She will start school in a week and a half. (She will go to Summer School for two weeks, and then Kindergarten starts.) She is super excited. Hopefully she will love it!

Haley started to say “thank you” every time someone does something for her. Even when I change her diaper. 🙂 She is so cute. She says more and more things and is able to tell me exactly what she wants most of the time, which is a big help. She still loves to read, play with dolls, draw, and play with playdough. She knows exactly what she wants, and won’t accept it until it is exactly the way she wants it. She is very stubborn that way. 🙂

Chris was diagnosed with narcolepsy (a.k.a.: excessive uncontrollable daytime sleepiness), so he got medicine and finally after many months, he doesn’t feel tired all day. He is actually doing very well since he’s been taking the medicine. I am so happy for him and he is obviously very excited to be back to “normal.” We are thankful to God for the right medicine!

And last but not least, we will have exciting ministry news soon! We are waiting for a few details to be worked out and once everything is done, we will have a special post about where and when we are going. We are so thrilled!

God bless!
