Another weekend survived

Yesterday(Sunday) was a good day. Got the boys ready for sunday school at 9am, about to leave when Paul had another crying fit. We sent him to his room to come out when he stopped crying and Marilyn took the others while I stayed home. This time he stopped crying after about 15 mins so we were able to get to sunday school after all. It was very chaotic really with only a few children listening to what was going on so we feel there is definitely an opening for some input from us.......but not yet! Between Sunay school and lunch was a really delightful time with the boys playing cooperatively together. Marilyn had made some soup for lunch which proved to be too hot, taste wise, for the boys but we enjoyed it. At 2pm we had church which involved some wonderful worship. We are taken by the fact that their prayers always start by thanking God that they are alive today, we enjoyed the service. Uncharacteristicallllly (oops) it was raining off and on so some of the boys watched a musical DVD. Dinner was the sunday special of sausage and chips which the boys enjoy but I would rather have the Village fish & chip shop chips anyday. The boys went to bed tired but satisfied, we too.
This morning we had to wake the boys at 6.45, they had slept in!!! Got them ready for school in time though andwent to the monday morning prayer meeting at 9. Came home to washing and housework during which time we discovered an empty biscuit packet under one of the beds. It looked remarkably like a packet we bought, but ours had biscuits in it..... You guessed it, we had been raided. We realised a second packet missing from the pantry and found that in one of the boy's bags (well there were three biscuits left in the packet). So tonight when the little ones were in bed we confronted them with the evidence, with denials all round but we are certain we know who is responsible and we are giving him/them time to confess & repent. Please pray for wisdom in our handling of the situation.
Baby Judith is improving, her temperature is stable and she is taking on food so she may be released from hospital tomorrow. Another miracle!!! Thank you to those who have been praying. Please keep us in your prayers, thank you to those who have e-mailed or txted us, we do value the communication we get from you. Thanks especially to David & Zoe.
Our love to you all
