This week I thought we would share a bit of family news and
let you know what has been going on in the Eck household.
Naomi has finally
taken to her feet and, as you can imagine, is getting into everything. This is
both a joy and a bit of a strain, but it has been fun to see her discover a new
world of mobility on two feet. She is also gabbing more and has developed a
language that only mom can really decipher. She does say a few words
consistently, her favorite of which is “horse,” which would make her aunt quite
proud. Dealing with the chaos that is parenting has been stressful for us both,
but we can also see God’s hand shaping us both in pointing out our selfishness
and continued need of him. We are very thankful for his grace and for the
privilege of being parents.
We have enjoyed and are looking forward to more visitors
this summer. One of Liz’s friends that was stationed in Germany came to visit
for Memorial Day weekend. It was the first time we had seen her since the
wedding and a wonderful opportunity to catch up and relax over the long
weekend. This July a couple of Liz’s college roommates will be coming to visit
the same time that Liz’ s Mom and Dad come to Vienna. One of the hardest things
about being away is not seeing friends and family so it is a great blessing to
have so many visitors this summer.

Matt and Liz,
It's wonderful to hear how everything is going and how little Naomi is growing! Praise and thanks be to God for the many blessings He has given you and gives to others through you. I pray the rest of the summer goes well for your family and ministry.
In Christ, Rachael
Thanks, Rachael!
