The first 2008 Moody Update

LAURA JANE - She is officially a big girl now--we kicked off potty training this past Friday with a full-fledged Minnie Mouse Potty Party and she has done very well since. She LOVES her big girl undies and is learning to "listen" to her body. She made us howl with laughter when, after an "accident" in her second day of using the potty, she promptly went to her room and changed pants. When she came to report that she had wet herself, I asked what she had done with the wet undies and she said, "I put them in the hampster (hamper)." Hilarious! There are some cute pics of her below this post and this pic here is of Minnie and LJ.

JEREMIAH - He is officially a big boy - all 17 lbs of him - at 3 months, nonetheless! The doctor said that he is in the 95th percentile for height and weight. He expects JJ to grow pretty tall. Jeremiah's disposition is so sweet! He is sleeping through the night (11pm-7am) consistently and "talking" up a storm! He gives out smiles freely and loves to bat at his hanging toys. He also loves his big sister and the TV.

JOSH - He is enjoying being a pastor, especially when he gets to spend time with people or preach. Sometimes the job as Campus Pastor feels more like his title should be, "Teaching Custodian." He spoke last week (1/27) and it was very well received. If you want to catch his sermon, look on the church website http://www.shelterrockchurch.com/. He is busy most days either with his job or with being a wonderful father and husband, (Kim's words - REALLY! :) ), and is holding his breath for the spring striped bass run. Josh feels at home again living so near to the ocean.

KIM - I am learning to be content in all circumstances (this is my big prayer for the year)! It is challenging most days with two kids, a household to run, and working a few hours on the church bulletin each week. I love getting to women's Bible study on Wednesday and church on Sundays. The women in the church are becoming good friends.

You sports fans will find this noteworthy: Josh and Kim are a lucky charm for local professional teams. After we had both moved to Baltimore, the Ravens won their first Super Bowl (2001). When we moved to Boston, the Patriots won 2 Super Bowls and the Red Sox won the World Series (2004). Now we move to New York, and the Giants take down the Patriots' dynasty for a Super Bowl championship. Do you want us in your city? :)

We thank you for your continued prayer and support in our lives!
