Pray Request

Please pray for me and Ethan over the next 9 days.  Gary left for Macedonia this morning, and this is the first time that he has traveled since I had Sienna.  Ethan and I are both extroverted so definitely need to socialize.  Ethan got a runny nose on Sunday, so that means that he won’t be able to play with any other kids while he has the runny nose.  This will seclude all 3 of us possibly until Gary returns.

One of my friends has never cared if Ethan had a cold; she would bring her son over anyway.  When her son was over last month he got a cold from Ethan.  After that his dad didn’t want her to bring him over if Ethan was sick.  I understand and don’t blame them.  I just can’t believe that out of all of the times he has been around Ethan with a cold, he just got it recently, thus isn’t able to come now while Gary is gone.  Such a bummer!

So, please pray for Ethan’s nose to stop running ASAP and for God to give me wisdom and creativity with things to do with him in the meantime with it just being us together all day and evening.  I have some toys that my mom brought over and that we bought off of people moving back to the States hidden from him.  I plan to pull them out during this time, but had planned to do that in addition to getting together with people.  Hopefully the toys will be more entertaining than I expect. I took this picture before Gary left this morning.  Ethan will enjoy looking at it later today.
