"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

A post from Layla

Hi everyone! It's me, Layla! I thought I'd say "hi" to everyone and show you around my new home! So far, I really like it up here on the third floor. And I really like my childcare class...well, after the first few minutes anyway. It's kind of sad for me when my mom drops me off, but after a couple minutes, I forget all about her:) There is so much fun stuff for me to do that I don't even miss her!



Here I am, with my classmates! This is the wagon that we go on walks in. We like to go the gym and play in there. See how they buckle us in? That makes us super safe, because sometimes my friends like to try and stand up!




And this is my favorite time of the morning...snacktime! My teacher, Lanna, reads us stories while we eat.




I looooooove snacktime!



Well, usually by the end of the morning this is how I look. I like to have my blanky sometimes, because I am usually getting tired by the time my mom and dad pick me up!


My grandma came and visited me a couple days ago, so I stayed in the apartment with her instead of going to my childcare class. Good thing she was there, because on that day I happened to be SUPER tired! So I took a nap with Grandma:)



Here I am with my crazy siblings and my awesome daddy! He likes to read us books before bed, and it is so fun. As you can see in this picture, though, sometimes my older sister Halle likes to push my buttons. We usually get along pretty good, though! (by the way, my daddy is wearing shorts in this picture, even though it kind of looks like he only has underwear on!)


Well, that's about it! This week I will have more fun going to my childcare class, and hopefully by the end of the week I will be able to be dropped off without crying! Maybe you could all pray for me:) And make sure you all come up to visit us! We love visitors!!

I'm sure each day she will do better and better. From what I have seen at the college, she is in good hands.
