Thank you for your prayers....Chris' Mom is home! My Dad and Mom had company this weekend, and he has been feeling chipper and sweet with Mom.
Jonathan just had a wonderful opportunity in hockey, that we are really grateful for. He has just been at the right place at the right time and will get a hard work out this year with the right coaching staff. We are so grateful for this opportunity. And it almost moved me to tears to sense that some of the coaches were just as happy to have him, as he was excited to be on their team. It won't be an easy year, but it will be a good, growing, year for Jonathan and hockey.
That was one BIG thing....
The other little thing that was "big" was, our Andre pulled another crazy yesterday..he took one of his skates and broke our tail light on our big van when he was returning them to his bag. He wasn't mad or upset or anything..he just did it for curiosity sake?????? Chris and I just shake our heads sometime. We still haven't come up with the right discipline. BUT next time there is any damage done with any of his hockey stuff, he's skipping the next practice (that's the only thing that goes right to his heart). We just don't get it? He knew he did something wrong, but we still don't understand the why behind it???
We just have to learn how to handle these strange little (BIG) things so we don't "lose" it and move in the right direction. Part of it is, we just don't understand it, so we get impatient...
Anyway...we'll be celebrating Jonathan's hockey achievements for awhile and being happy for him, and getting ready for winter here. Chris washed and waxed our car today, bought us some nice chairs for our dining room, and is just keeping us going in the right directions. I'm hoping to visit my parents next weekend. Tonight, all is peaceful and good around here! Thank-you Lord!!!
Thanks for all your prayers! Alesia & Chris
