Coming soon...

Hello friends,
Elisha Titus should be making his debut soon. I feel great most days, and I am thankful to God that I've had a healthy, straight-forward pregnancy this time.
This is such a precious time, carrying a little one inside. What a powerful and mysterious experience. I look forward, though, to holding him in my arms instead of in my (rather large) belly.
My heart is so full, but at the same time, so heavy for dear friends of ours whose little lovely Olive was born prematurely in Thailand. She is so sweet and fragile. I can't imagine the emotional weariness that her parents must be feeling as they spend their days with her and the other families with babies in the hospital.
Mitchell is busy, busy, busy these past weeks. He maintains a joyful attitude in the midst of it, and makes it a priority to spend time each day with me and Johnathon, for which I am so grateful to him. He is preaching and teaching classes more lately, and I get a real kick out of hearing him speak. He has come so far, and I always learn new things from the Holy Spirit speaking through him.
Johnathon celebrated his 3rd birthday recently, and is truly growing in independence! He seems so grown-up to me, and I am continually amazed at all the new things he is learning. His health seems to be improving, and we are so happy about the foods we've been able to add back in his diet. Still a no-go on the gluten and dairy, however.
These days he is happy spending time with his friends and cousins, still loves to read (Dr. Seuss is a favorite), and is quite the singer--especially of praise songs. He belts out tunes everywhere he goes. And he is really getting into art, and loves to experiment with making paintings with unlikely objects. The other day he was painting with a feather from the feather duster and some Q-tips. It turned out pretty cool.
Blessings to all of you...hope my next post has some cute little baby pics!
Love, Rochelle
