The ducks get fat while Jonathan gets thin

Elizabeth actually sat still for some pictures this morning, so of course we had to share them with you! She has really been growing lately. I was out of town for several days this week, and could tell a big difference when I got home. She's even about to grow out of the overalls she just grew into 2 weeks ago - at least in the belly...her legs are still short, of course!



She also has really started putting words together into sentences. She's said up to a 5-word sentence so far, and talks up a storm wherever she goes. David took her to feed the ducks at the local bookstore today. She had so much fun, we had to go back again tonight so she could show me. And, he had to promise to bring her back tomorrow to convince her to leave. She kept telling us on the way home that tomorrow she was going to tell the ducks, "Wake up, ducks! Time to eat!" and that they were going to eat cereal because it was yummy.

On the other hand, Jonathan is going to participate in a voluntary 30-hour famine wih his youth group tomorrow night. Starting at noon tomorrow, they will go without food until 6pm on Saturday night. The purpose of the fast is to raise their awareness regarding world hunger, and to raise money for hungry children. We're very proud of him for participating. Please keep him in your prayers!
