Happy 3rd Birthday Silas!

Silas,
Thank you for teaching me oh so much.
Whenever mommy isn't dancing, singing, or her usual self, you come in with that perfect touch-
I'm given free hugs and kisses, or a toy to play,
Or you tell me, God's always with me so everything's okay!
No matter what's going on you just want everyone to smile.
You make us all better people and have for a while.
Whether your rhyming, reading, or singing ABC,
 I can't wait to learn more from you now that you're three!
Thank you for teaching me so much sweet boy.
Your a gift from God- a true bundle of joy.


Silas was taught by his sweet daddy to give ladies flowers. After pulling out all the real flowers from the yard and seeing how quickly they die, he decided to give me this the other day. My heart smiled.

Silas named this airplane- PO76. I have no clue where that came from, but I was impressed.

This is the face of a boy watching his brother dance around the kitchen.

Dee Dee came to the aquarium with us for Silas' b-day. It was a blast!




A special birthday surprise showed up in the back yard!

Thank you T-Pop and Daddy for all your hard work!

Everyday he wants to go to our "park" in the back yard. :)

Happy Birthday Bud!

Prayer requests for little Levi-

Levi had some good a bad news this week:
- Bad news: he lost 9 ounces of weight. We are trying different things, and working to trust God through this thorn that still persists. He had a cold last week, which didn't help eating drive or throwing up, but hopefully working with GI doc, we will turn the corner soon.
-Good news: Levi is almost army crawling! He has finally popped two bottom teeth! He "waved" hi in his own non-traditional way, and he started eating a lot more by mouth the last 24 hours (maybe a growth spurt!).

Please pray for his weight gain/eating/throwing up, as well as his ability to turn his hand in supine position (think looking at your own palm). Also, we go back to the ENT for another hearing test on Tuesday. Praying he does great at that!

Thank you so much for continuing to care for our family! Love you!

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b...

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...
