Why is Wyatt feeling tortured?


Dear family and friends,

We did miss a few opportunities this weekend due to the fact that we were just tired. It's going to be year of picking and choosing like never before. I don't like that I can't do it all, but it's a good spiritual exercise now isn't it?

By God's grace, we were successful in getting Wyatt to the orthodontist yesterday. Hopefully he will be out of his braces in June. We walked past Tiffany's as we got off the bus stop and Wyatt didn't offer to buy me anything. Can you believe it?

We rode the bus both ways, then walked to Harrod's where I bought the children a huge playmobile set that was on 50% off. Possibly our only purchase ever to be made there and I can still hardly believe I got such a good price. Wyatt was more than happy to tote the large ackward box a little more than mile home, on foot.

Today Kate is going to take the bus to go and babysit for the afternoon. Wyatt is going to be her escort, both are excited as this will be their first solo outing. I am putting them on the bus, they will have a cell phone, and then they have about 8 blocks to conquer. Wyatt does not know yet that I'm going to slip him some quid so he can get a McDonald's hamburger on the way home.

Ed's hopeful to have a date of delivery today...the phone is still an opportunity of being cheerful despite confusion and little progress.

Tonight we head to the Royal Automobile Club. Wyatt is convinced that we are going to get to drive Porche's and Ferreri's and feels tortured that Edward's wife is going rather than his son.

As always...God is good!
Love in Christ,
Dinah for The Troops
