OUR FAMILY TREE



December means school holidays for Daddy so the children have been enjoying lots more time with Jonathan. Nothing special doing, just unhurried play time, library visits and slow meal times followed by long baths.


Whilst everyone rushes overseas for the holidays, we are taking time off for each other this time round. Chilling at the beach, going across the border for some cafe food and reading mountains of books. We forfeited Taiwan this year because we have enough adjustments to make as a family. A new child, a new sibling, a new home arrangement and a busier school schedule.


Thanksgiving
- Nathan officially cleared from requiring early surgery
- Mya completing her N1 year well
- Jonathan sermon on God's presence at Frontline Youth
- Amy having had pockets of paid work throughout maternity period

Prayer Needs
Nathan
1. Smooth transition to solid food
2. Continual good health and growth until the next heart review in Feb

Mya
1. Smooth transition into N2
2. Continual curiosity and creativity for learning (especially for Mandarin)

Jonathan

2. Discipline to revise Hebrew and prepare for Semester 2 subjects

2. Discipline to continue work of Final Thesis

May you have much joy spending time with friends and family this Christmas season! Mya has been excitedly counting down the days to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Like her, may we always have the childlike faith to celebrate the true reason for this season.

Blessed Christmas everyone,
Jonathan, Amy, Mya & baby Nathan
