Winter on Grandma's Back Porch



We survived our first (except for Jay) winter in Toledo, Ohio. Brrr..!!! The kids had fun playing with snow. Lucy preferred to stay indoors and keep warm. The dry winter air has not helped much with Kezi's eczema. However, we praise God that her skin condition has improved significantly, although she still itches often. The Spring weather is helping her sensitive skin from drying out further.

We love the beauty of Spring: flowers, green trees and grass, birds feeding their babies in the bird house. Pleasant weather. Could not ask for more...Grandma and Grandpa work hard to keep the lawn in perfect condition.


Kezi Faith



Kezi Faith is full of life and full of fun. She sits up well and is very close to crawling position. Although she now has four teeth, her solid food feeding is behind due to her allergies. Nonetheless, Kezi is still growing well in every aspect. We are so grateful to God for our newest bundle of joy. Kezi has taught us to have more faith in God.

This past month has been very eventful. Kezi had a fall 4 weeks ago in the church parking lot. CT Scan of her skull showed a fracture. We praise God her brain is protected. She has not been affected by the fall at all except for a big bump on her head, right above her left ear. I believe an angel of the Lord was there to cover her. The swelling has gone down completely. We had to go through the whole thing of being investigated by the Children Services Beaureau. Not fun....but we are glad it is all over now and they have closed the case. Grandma and Grandpa have been of the greatest support and encouragement through all this time. Thank you for walking with us through our struggles.




Happy Birthday Livi




Costumes By Grandma



Livi turned 3 in February. We baked her spiced chocolate cake, and had fun filling her dress-up box with costumes. Livi is very proud that she is now three. She feels like a big girl and wants to do whatever Sammy does, including writing and math. The exception would be in the area of eating vegetables. Both Sammy and Livi love to play with Kezi and make her laugh.


Three Sweetest-Pies



It is hard to believe that Sammy will be five this coming September. He has been such a helpful big brother, helping Lucy with watching over Kezi. Sammy loves to draw, read and write about military planes. He is learning to read and write and do math at a pretty fast rate. We thank God that both Sammy and Livi have a desire to learn. We are also working on Scripture memorization with him.


Job Search

It has been slow going in the job search department. Currently, we are in the early stage of interviewing process with two Chinese churches in San Jose, CA. Jay's substitute teaching is now over for the summer. We are looking into what temp summer work is available. We thank God for the grace and mercy He has poured on to us in times of need. Thank you for your faithful prayers and encouragement. You are God sent.
