Please Sleep
This has been a tough week. Oliver has been waking up really early in the morning, causing him to be quite grumpy the rest of the day. And Waverly is having a difficult time going to sleep at night. It makes for long days. Wavey is continuing to do well at school. Oliver had his first speech & language therapy session this week. He did beautifully. He was so attentive and his focus was so good. I think Priya (therapist to both kids) was shocked that Waverly used to be the same way at that age. It is startling how much she has changed.
In other news, one of Matt's co-workers is arranging a fundraiser BBQ for the kids in July. It will be a chance for friends and co-workers to donate to our family so we can set up a safe room in DC or to donate to the MPS Society in honor of the kids. I am so moved by the generosity of others. It is very humbling.
The past few days have been difficult for me, personally. I could use your prayers and encouragement. I have been sad - deeply sad.

I will certainly pray for your sad heart! I am sure the sleeping thing compounds it all. The kids being off with their sleep can certainly take a toll on the whole family.
Let us know how the BBQ goes...it sounds so fun!
Love, Blaza
I would love more details about the bbq. I know we couldn't attend, but I would love to know how to contribute.

I can remember when my kids were young and how exhausting they could be. I am praying that God will strengthen you and encourage you. That is awesome about the bbq. Please let us know how we can contribute without attending.
And of course, I am hoping for sleep to come your way :)
You were on my heart today, I want you to know that, in fact, you are quite often. You are such a pillar of strength, an incredible example to me of what God meant in Proverbs 31. You are in His arms, as is Matt, and your beautiful children.
Strange irony...I was in the Allentown area today and drove right by where you lived in high school. It made me smile to think of some funny memories, I also got a little choked up thinking of the burden you carry daily. Remember...cast you cares upon HIM. He loves you all and is near you every moment of every day.
As you prepare to move back to the states, please email me, katie_weigle@yahoo.com. I'd love to get together with you sometime, I'd love to meet Matt, Waverly and Oliver! :)
Love,
Katie (Wilder) Weigle
