In raising our children, we are trying to instill certain values in their lives, as do most parents. On of the things we do routinely is pray with and for our children, and encourage them that they, too, can pray. Which Alina does. She mostly is thankful for lots of people in her life. Her prayers begin with "Thank you, God, for" and then they sound a bit like a family tree. She actually asks very little of God. But, there's one request that keeps coming back over and over.
She asks God for a little brother.
(OK, you can guess what's coming...)
Little brother or another little sister, that prayer will, Lord willing, be answered sometime around New Year's.
Faith like a child...

When April first got pregnant with Hannah, Silas started praying: "Dear God, thank you for my baby sister. Amen."
Félicitations ! How exciting! Jean and I are expecting baby no. 1 in February. Que l'aventure commence...
