Ian's new-found happiness all started when Emma started going to Kindergarten (pre-school). For Ian this was obviously a miracle. He finally has his mother. He has missed his mother perhaps more than any of our other children. Tamara has had anemia ever since his birth, and we moved to Germany when he was just 3 weeks old. We have had very little time to care for the little guy ever since.
Emma is very excited about pre-school as well. She is a big kid now and more like her older brother and sisters. She is generally so tired though from her new schedule with no nap and the extra excitement each day at Kindergarten that I don't see the excitement myself.
Now, flashback to two weeks ago. The two little ones - former friends who almost always adored one another - were starting to fight like cats and dogs. They were always screaming at each other and Emma was also screaming at her older brother and sisters a lot.
And now, flashback to a week and a half ago. The big kids started praying in our family prayers that Emma and Ian would stop screaming so much. When I noticed that they were all praying for this I said, mom and dad should follow their great example and we should pray for this in all of our family prayers. The kids and mom agreed and we continued praying for this help.
Then, on Tuesday, one the Kindergartens called us - Hannah's former Kindergarten. The director had heard through the grapevine that we were still looking for a place and one had just become available.
I told the kids that it was a miracle and a direct answer to their prayers. Now we should be grateful in our prayers for this miracle for our little ones.
Check out some pictures of the Emma & Ian from this spring. A few weeks ago when the cat fighting started I was worried. They are now back to their their former selves again and playing together very nicely for a 3 and almost 2 year old. It is a huge blessing:
