Precious sleep

After two months of tiredness, Giovy has decided to give us the gift of sleep! Practically to the day, on her two month birthday, she just started sleeping 9 hours at a time each night. Whether its from 9:00 to 6:00 or 10:00 to 7:00, we'll take it!

This one's for you Grandma!

Forgot about this video

I filmed myself the night Emma gave birth because I wanted to remember how I felt. Here is a 45 second interview with myself that I forgot about.

Sounds, sounds, sounds

Dressed up for her friend's dedication

Last Sunday night, Giovy's best friend Alexia (Dan and Niki's baby) was dedicated to the Lord in front of the church; so Giovy was very excited that she got to get all dressed up again in her nice clothes and do her hair.  

VBS week with team from Michigan

For the first time in the history of our church, we are hosting a week-long VBS.  Our good friends Pastors Terry and Pat Carlson as well as Brian and Beth Molloy have been coming every year since 2003 to serve our church.  

This year we asked them if they would teach us how to put on a VBS; since they have been doing children's ministry for over 20 years, they thought that was a great idea.

So far, it has been going great.  We are two days in and the Romanian children's workers have already started to catch on and do many of the activities.

Above is our little Giovy with her friend Alexia and our two favorite babysitters.  

Tired...but I will try and post pictures :)

Awesome baby-sitter/sister

Giovy already has a favorite baby-sitter (obviously excluding Grandma).  Emma's sister Esthera has been such a huge blessing the past 2 months.  She comes over about twice a week to help out around the house and stay with Giovy.  As you can see, Giovy is very comfortable with her.   

Worship team expanding

Emma has been doing a great job with the worship team.  We continue to write our own songs.  We have 12 now and are very excited each time we introduce a new one to the church.  The next one we'll do is called "We have victory".  Emma wrote the words, and together we wrote the music.  She really was inspired when she wrote the words; we were out of town at a conference.  

3 new singers were just added to the team in the past month all of them under 16 years of age so they still have a lot of time to develop their voice.  

Trip with the Interns to Rupea

This past weekend I was with Gaby and his interns to a small town about 3 hours away called "Rupea".  We served the church there and had some fun too.  Rupea has one of 7 citadels that traces back to the 14th century.  It is situated on a steep hill and was very well fortified.  Now it's back to Targoviste and back to work.
