New beginnings

I am excited to say my ankle is healing wonderfully. There is some mild swelling but minimal discomfort. 

In other news, in preparation for basketball season, Julian and I have started Couch 2 5K :) he missed last year's season and is pretty out of shape, but I am excited to teach my son about physical discipline as well as spiritual discipline- denying the flesh & such!  During this program (free app downloadable under C25k) you begin with intervals of walking 1.5 minutes and jogging 1 minute! While we are on our walking interval, we spend that time talking about life and praying aloud together! I am soaking it all in; I have a feeling I will never forget these sweet memories we are making! His dad & him do music and touring together & play Halo :) while him and I play minecraft and jog together... So much of parenthood and childhood discipleship has to be intentional. Otherwise, you go to bed at night and think, "did I spend ANY quality time with my children today..." It happens to me too. 
Maleah has been waking up in the middle of the night and refusing to soothe herself back to sleep. One would think after 20 months we would be passed this; I'm unsure if she's hurting, having night terrors, or just being clingy... Pray for us as we decide how to handle this situation. It seems we find ourselves here every few months. 
Homeschool has been stressful these past months but is still very much a delight. My Pilgrim's Progress curriculum is coming along nicely :) 

Bless The Lord, O my soul
