Tikvah has a new face!

Tikvah's surgery went well. She is all puffy and looks COMPLETELY different, but we are happy that she is beginning the process of healing. It was really hard for me as Mama to see a baby that doesn't look like my little girl anymore, but I'm sure her new look will quickly become what's normal for me. She still has the same eyes and the same cry! LOL. Tikvah also gets to wear little arm restraints for 10 days to keep her from one of her favorite activities--shoving her first in her mouth! And she has to spend one night in the hospital since she is so little. Thanks be to God for his provision, and thank you all for praying!

Selah was very happy to see me when I came home for a few hours. I missed my "big" girl. She is a trooper. Oh, and she is FINALLY getting more teeth! We can feel multiple buds under her skin, and one has broken through in front, and I'm sure the others will too soon. She has also switched up her sleep schedule--sleeping in later in the morning (hallelujah!), and therefore taking an earlier nap.

Please pray for all of us as we adjust. Plus, in one week Micha will leave for 5 weeks in NYC for the finale of Behold Your God. He is leading Halutzim for the second year, but that is two weeks of the campaign, and the rest he will spend with the Manhattan outreach. Please pray for all the missionaries heading to New York, and for the myriad of spouses and kids that will be staying behind.
