We had a lovely Labor Day weekend with Baba and Papa (my parents) in North Carolina! We enjoyed just being together, going out on their boat, and rummaging through all of our stuff that they have been storing for us while we've been gone. We also got to visit with my Aunt Terri, Uncle John, and cousin Michael. It was great fun to be on the farm, but it was also a treat to visit their church which supported us a great deal while we were in Peru. We had the opportunity to share about our experiences there in a missions focused sunday school class. While we were there, Ethan turned 7 months old! We've been trying food, but he really isn't that excited about any of it so far. He is now sitting up on his own very well and he and Noah have really been entertaining each other more. Just as we were driving home, Noah and Ethan were just laughing and laughing together in the back seat - so sweet to watch!
Today, was Noah's first day of preschool at Great Beginnings, at Trinity Pres. He seemed to have really enjoyed himself this morning! It's very different from his Peruvian preschool, so a little adjusting will have to take place for all of us. Noah wanted to wear his old preschool uniform shirt to his class this morning. (c:
A quick update on Noah's eyes - he has new glasses and is supposed to still wear the patch for an hour a day. We have found a new doctor for him to see down here. It amazes me how well he does with his glasses. He takes good care of them now, being careful to place them on a table when he removes them and pushing them up when they fall down his nose. He says they truly help him to see better. It's likely that he will not need surgery since, with glasses, his vision is good. It's also likely that he will need glasses at least through puberty. Sometimes, at that time, the muscles mature and it may correct the slight crossing of his eye.
