2 MOLARS! Holy Cow!

Well we officially know why Malachi has been at odds with the world lately. On Tuesday night we felt 2 molars poking through on his bottom gums. Now some kids have a real easy time with teething, Malachi hasn't been one of these kids. He has had all the gross diapers, the drool, the chapped chin, the runny nose, everything except a fever until the molars. The molars have seemed to be his gateway to fever-hood. This explains how he wants to be with us 24/7, would like it if we held him, explains why if he sits down wrong it hurts.

Now we would just like prayers for these molars to come in quickly so that the pain and frustration he is feeling can subside. And if you think about it-when the top molars decide to make their appearance that they are not as intense as these bottom ones.

So far DuBabe #2 is doing great, we are switching doctors. Our other doctor is not able to practice due to a medical leave for awhile so we are switching to the doctor that actually delivered Malachi. We will meet with her for the first time in October.

Work-wise; yesterday was See You At The Pole for Amy. If you don't know what it is, it is a day where students across the US gather around their flag pole in the morning before school and pray for school, their town, country and world. They gather and lift up God's name before the school day. Here in Hutch we also have a Post-Pole rally where the youth of most of the youth groups come and celebrate all that happened that morning. We have 2 student speakers and open it up for others to share about their experiences. It is an exciting day but quite exhausting (especially when you are growing lungs, eyeballs, etc.). For Mike he is doing well, he is still working as the Electrical Manager with a possibility of switching departments again. Please pray if this does happen that it is God's plan for him and that he feels that it is a good move.

Thanks for your prayers, we feel them and appreciate them greatly! Look soon for pictures from our "pre-Halloween" dress up for Malachi and him learning how to do lawn chores :)
