And, yes, that's a great verse!<BR/><BR/>Alicia<BR/><BR/>Annette,<BR/><BR/>I know that the lessons that they are learning early in life are important lessons and that God has a purpose in all of this. And, it is never too early to learn to be dependent on God!<BR/><BR/>Alicia<BR/><BR/><BR/>Julie,<BR/><BR/>I see a lot of similarities in Nolan and Rena as well. They had lots of fun on Saturday! We have to get them together more often! Hope you are feeling better!<BR/><BR/>Alicia<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jessica,<BR/><BR/>I agree, our boys will only benefit from this experience in the end! It's just hard to see them not be able to just be children sometimes. In some ways they are having to grow up a little bit faster. But, I know in my heart that they will gain a ton more from having Gavin and Alex as their brothers.<BR/><BR/>Alicia<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lisa,<BR/><BR/>I love that you had them write journals, so thank you for that! Nolan will miss not having you as his teacher this year. Thanks for your dedication as his teacher for the last two years! He learned so much from you! Hope you are having a great summer!<BR/><BR/>AliciaThe VW'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116325494368190699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-68302944732635939542008-07-29T10:37:00.000-04:002008-07-29T10:37:00.000-04:00I am so glad you found that journal entry.

When I read it in the classroom I was so excited that Nolan choose that topic, I remind the students to write about things they truly care about and Nolan really took that to heart. You have some very special and insightful boys!<BR/>Lisa RusscherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-7574845442528032752008-07-28T22:53:00.000-04:002008-07-28T22:53:00.000-04:00I often worry about my older boys too, but as far ...I often worry about my older boys too, but as far as I can tell their little brother is only making them better.

Your boys are beyond fine and will be better people because of the gift of love Gavin has brought to your home. Scary at times, but knowing God's love and the love you and Joel show them will keep them safe. Your boys have a capacity to love and underdstand well beyond most adults. Natural to worry, but I gotta tell ya, there is no need.<BR/><BR/>What precious gifts you have in each your boys!!<BR/><BR/>Hope to see you soon!<BR/>Love,<BR/>JulieInspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680325645387784822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-57494860004611818372008-07-28T12:56:00.000-04:002008-07-28T12:56:00.000-04:00I don't know why some children have to learn these...I don't know why some children have to learn these hard lessons so early in life, but just as God helps us, He helps them too. Jacob, Nolan, and Caleb are having to learn some tough lessons early, but thankfully they have Joel and you, church, and good teachers to help them. How good to see our children learning an early dependence on God--always a helpful thing to learn!<BR/><BR/>AnnetteAnnette Gysenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458438008034828484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-80773097717619951922008-07-28T12:18:00.000-04:002008-07-28T12:18:00.000-04:00That is so precious!
