There is some activities to report! Yesterday was a busy day for Kole! He is still overcoming fears from being so sick! Janni, like I said, was sensing that God was giving her the green light to start pushing Kole. Yesterday, Janni had him sit up. We gave Kole a timer and set it for 5 minutes. He did some physical therapy on the floor as well. Kole's dad being a coach would start to count to ten and Kole would relunctantly begin to count along. It was quite cute for Kole would speed up his counting as he came to 7,8,9, and 10. Cheater that he is. Anyway, his eyes get as big as saucers in concern for what we are doing to him! I told him that he could trust his mom and dad, for they would not want anything to happen to him. They have battled for him through prayer and seeking God through His Word. They would not forsake him now.He would whimper, "I am afraid". He did a great job and we were thrilled. Later in the evening, Grandpa Keller made a bond fire. Kole was excited. We bundled him up and roasted marshmellows and hot dogs. This is a wonderful house to stay at! Nancy and Steve Sr. have made us feel so welcomed and loved. They have spoiled my children along with their own . I am afraid I will have to drag my kids home. My daughter, Hannah, said that Steve Sr. was nice. I have to agree, along with Nancy. I can see their love for their family. It might be hard to move from this place in a way. There is a beautiful view of the river and wonderful sunsets. Plus, there is much activity from the wild life in the area. Jaelle has been smothered with love. I can tell she thinks she owns the place. She told my daughters and myself, without hesitation, that we could stay here! She just takes it forgranted that her grandparents would do anything for her. She is so secure in their love! I do not know how Janni and Steve would have done it without such loving support. Janni said it would have been almost impossible. God provided for all the details and took care of many of their day to day duties. He removed as much stress as possible. Janni said that to me one day, as she explained how burdening her food routine had become. God lightened her load and said give him to me. She gave Kole to Him and He gave Him back to raise for His glory. Keep praying for Kole's smile to return along with his hope and trust. He has travelled a difficult journey, and it is hard to trust that life will now move on. May we move on with God holding our hand.

Love,
Jodi
