Today Ethan attended his first session as "patient getting fillings". Yes, plural. 4 fillings. And count em, he has 3 more to come. He did very well. At first he was fidgeting around while they were trying to freeze his little gums, but after that he FELL ALSLEEP. Thank God, because I was praying for that! I know Jason was praying too and so for most of it -- he slept.
They had suggested sedating him -- cuz of his age, but i didn't feel good about that, so we needed a little miracle and -- voila! God is faithful. He even cares about little ol me at the end of the dentist chair praying for my 4 year old son, who had cavities, probably because i didn't have him brush and floss his teeth enough! Talk about grace. I'm so thankful that it turned out this way today.
So the main idea at gleaners is to process the vegs so they can be dried and then packaged and made into soup mix to be sent around the world. Gleaners is able to feed 25,000 people per day worldwide! We are thrilled that we got to be part of this and see how it all comes togerher! It really was a lot of fun and feels great to know we're helping out those who really are mal-nourished.
we are excited to have started our school year at home! the kids have really enjoyed getting down to business and start working away....it should be a great year as we 'travel' around the world to explore and learn about other countries and cultures!
