Susan has really pitched in the past few days.  She has been extra good to her younger siblings, especially Eliza and Martin.  Yesterday she had Eliza come into her room and they read a book together and had a "sleepover" in her room.  Today she took Martin outside after the thunderstorm and played with him in the rain puddles.  Even though she is only 13, I can see glimpses of maturity that is refreshing.  She will be a fine young lady and I enjoy watching her grow up.  Her younger siblings adore her.  Susan can get Theodore to giggle just by smiling at him.  I can't believe that in 5 short years she will be heading off into the adult world....she will do well with whatever she chooses to do.  May God protect her through the coming years.
