Eli's came along way in the month of May!!!

So, I haven't written in awhile... As you know it has taken a long time for Eli to learn to walk. He has been in the First Steps Program's system since he was 18 months old. We had not heard from them or a physical therapist, in about 2 months. Any way, at 22 months old Eli began walking!!! Praise the Lord!!!! The week after he started walking I heard from the First Steps cordinator. I told her we do not need their services now! Its funny how things worked out. God's timing is perfect!!!! Now almost a month later Eli is practically running!!!! He's full of energy!

Life as we know it...

I thought I would update my blog. So, here goes... Eli got ear tubes put in March the 19th. The day after he stood up inthe middle of the floor, like he had been doing it all along. So, I'm certain if he had had tubes sooner he would be walking by now! Eli is 20 months old now. He is pulling up on everything, and cruising. He took his first steps last Sunday! Eli walked with his walker this morning, which is a BIG improvement. Eli not walking yet has REALLY tested my faith. I have been having a real tough time with it. I know he will walk, though. Only God knows why some things happen. I just have to trust that God's timing IS PERFECT!

Jerad is learning to write his ABC's. Upper, and lower case. We are on the "C" right now. Jerad is such a sweet tempered child, most of the time. Jerad is using the "real" potty now, with the help of an Elmo Potty seat. Jerad talks ALL THE TIME! He keeps Eli and I laughing during the day.

Well, friends I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our daily walk. I will write again soon... NOW I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, DECLARES THE LORD. PLANS TO PROSPER YOU, NOT TO HARM YOU. PLANS TO GIVE YOU A HOPE AND A FUTURE. JEREMIAH 29:11

Intoducing our new blog!

I have been wanting to create a family blog for some time now. Since the boys are having nap time I thought was as good a time as any. Speaking (or writing) about the boys, I may as well catch you up on them first. Jerad is four years old. Where oh where did the time go? He loves to talk. He loves books. We are starting home schooling K4, this fall. (This year will determine if we want to continue with homeschooling, or not.) Eli is 19months old. He is our "spunky" one. He isn't walking yet. Eli has had ALOT of ear infections. He will be geting ear tubes put in March19th. We think that will help with his walking and talking. Eli also has his evaluations coming up, March31st, for his physical therapy and speech therapy. I am a happy stay-at-home-Mommy. AND this is our life...
