Our New Two-Year-Old
No, we're not having a baby, unlike everyone else, and we're certainly not birthing a two-year-old. We are, however, taking a new person into our life. Sydney is just about to turn two. She is the daughter of a married couple in Louisville; the wife works in health care and the husband is a high-rise architect. For the past few months, Susan Wyatt (see FreddytandSusan.blogspot.com) has been caring for Sydney. Now, Rachael is about to take over as a full-time mom..err.. nanny, that is. It being the case that this new child will affect both our lives, since we are one as husband and wife, I have said that Sydney is "Our New Two-Year Old."
For all of our family and friends out there, please consider us in your prayers as you think about our new child. We look forward to the experience (which will be at least one year) with a lot of anticipation. It's going to be hugely educational for Rachael, and I know I'll learn much just from hearing about her day with Sydney. We also look forward to perhaps having a salting, light-shining influence in Sydney's life along with her parents' lives... they are unbelievers. But, needless to say, this will be a trial for us. It will require long hours for Rachael and take time away from being with each other. She will no doubt experience frustration and weariness from it. Pray that I'll provide the encouragement she needs through the Spirit's power. Thank you, and remember to pray for Sydney, our new two-year-old.

ReplyDeleteHey Brett and Rachael Freddy T showed me this blog thing this weekend. It's cool. Your thank you note finally got here. Very Sweet. Yall are great. Remember there is always something you can learn in all situations especially with Sydney. Get my number from Susan she called me a couple of times to discuss Sydney. Im no expert but Patton (our youngest)is one month younger than Sydney. We are praying for you as you begin this journey of nannying.
