Couple of Pics and a little news

Caleb being super cute.  He got a hair cut yesterday so new pics will be up soon.

Connor being his happy self.

None of my kids have ever been kids who fall asleep just wherever they are...until now.  We must've worn Caleb out that day.

Going for a ride.  The boys often go on tandem crawls, rides and walks around the house.  

The kids are all doing well.  I am not sure if I posted, but the boys no longer need Physical Therapy.  They are caught up and on the move.  They are both walkers and keeping us all up and down and up and down.  

Other news is that M is leaving for about 6 months.  I am not posting anymore information than that due to security concerns.  Please pray that our family does not just survive the time he is away.  I want all 5 of us to thrive and especially readjust well when daddy comes back.  Please pray for this mama as I do life on my own with no family here and no daddy.  Please pray that M will be safe and come home a better man because of his experience.  

Things you can do to support this military family:

I will soon post an address for M.  You can send him cards and packages.

I would REALLY appreciate encouraging notes in the mail.  I am overwhelmed by the idea of having M gone for so long and would really appreciate your thoughts in a card or two.

Come visit!  We would love to have visitors to break up the time M is away.  

Phone calls just to let us know you are thinking of our family.  

We are grateful for the amazing friends we have here, but it is still going to tough to have daddy gone for so long.  Any prayer you pray during the time he is away would be appreciated!!!

Our family headed up to the aquarium last month.  L loved the "Nemo" fish.

A whale shark looking at the boys -- or the boys looking for the whale shark.

L at the dolphin show.

This year the wonderful aquarium had a huge and absolutely gorgeous floral display. 

L wanted to take a pic in front of the ladybug since that is what Grandma Reynolds calls her.  

So grandma, this is for you!

L got a kitchen and this is her posing for the picture so that all our friends and family to see her wonderful cooking skills.  Caleb was helping to cook as well ;).

The kids love their ball pit.  they play in there a lot!!!!

A few photos for everyone to enjoy.  The kids are doing so well!  Mama and Dada are enjoying them lots.  We have had a rough couple of weeks but things are getting better.  M's unit has been helping without the Tsunami relief so I can't be too frustrated with the many hours away.

Couple of updates on the kids --

Connor: saying dada, dog and ball
walks about ten steps
eats big boy food, I can cut up our meals and he eats right along with us


Caleb: saying dada, mama, ball, balloon, and trying to repeat lots of other words
walks up to 12 or so steps
also eating big boy food


Those are the biggest things.  Oh---we graduated from Physical Therapy.  The boys are caught up and no longer have any delays.

L:
not too much except that her birthday is next week.  She requested a Shrek party with orange decorations.  She also asked for a cake to smash her fist in just like the 4th movie.

Each day we are so thankful for 3 healthy kids.  We know what a blessing it is to have health!

Have a great day!
