some subtle changes

There have been a couple of changes in the Team Sublett lineup over the past few days.

The number 9 hitter (Charlie) has been especially drooly.  Sure enough, he’s sporting some brand new teeth!  Welcome to the world of the toothed, my son!  This opens up a whole new world of culinary possibilities.  There’s a little nubbin of a tooth on the bottom.  Now we just have to find it’s partner on the top row and we’re in business.

Just about everyone in our family has had a bout of the tummy bug lately except the Chinese kids.  Do they have some sort of secret weapon against the virus?  I thought I had it bad Saturday, but Levi actually won the “sick-off.”  He spent all night Saturday-Sunday tethered to the bathroom–while on the High School Ministry retreat!  At least I was home for my throneroom experience.  I think we’re all on the mend now.  Lilly stayed home from school today, but should be back in the saddle tomorrow.

And what do you do when the dark brown box of hair dye (foam rinse?) is actually DAAAARRRK brown?  Let’s just say that Sadie stands alone as the only non-raven-haired woman in the house.  Check out Lilly’s new look.  We like it.  It’s pretty much the same color as Kim’s hair, just a skosh lighter than Annabelle and Josie’s.  I’m not going to be too concerned about hair.  It’s a temporary thing, right?  I don’t really care how my kids wear their hair as long as it’s clean.  There are lots of other things that matter more to me, and to them…

Our Daily Bible Reading is still in high gear.  We actually moved our start time up by 5 minutes to give us a little more time to discuss.  There were too many mornings when Levi missed the bus.  I’d rather get up 5 minutes early than take him to school!

Lilly, Josie, and Isaac head out for the middle school snow camp (minus the snow) this weekend.  Should be a great weekend.  Josie informed us today that she prayed with one of her leaders (Casie, what’s up!) about following Jesus Wednesday night.  Josie believed in God when she came to live with us in October, and talked about some really solid places that she’d experienced his presence.  But over the past year she’s developed a deeper knowledge, a greater understanding.  She knows more, and believes more.  It’s fun to see her growing in her faith.

I’ll try to snap a pic of all the dark-haired beauties tomorrow…
