Happy 4th Levi Joe

Just to give you a reminder of how hard this little man has worked to thrive in this life for four years, and how beautifully far he's traveled....

Here's Little Levi at 3 months old...
Here he is at 9 months (Luca's current age)...

And here he is at 2 (Roman's age)...
And here he is now... 4 years big!
We just saw our GI doc to check on Levi's weight progress, and even without his extra milk calories (and my scare tactics) Levi gained weight. The doc said we could graduate and simply be monitored by our pediatrician!!!! I can't tell you how anticlimactic this was for the kids, and how much my heart was screaming for joy simultaneously! This is a huge deal! For four years we've been climbing an uphill battle to get Levi to eat and grow normally, and now in the almost 5th percentile for his size, the docs think he "looks good!" My cup runneth over and over! Thank you for all the prayers. We will continue with our therapies and our Orthopeadic doctors, but Levi is doing really well, Thank you Lord!

Levi took this awesome black and white of his underwear when I wasn't looking. He captured the mood perfectly!












Happy birthday to my sweet, silly, smart, and strong boy. He always seemed to have an extra special love for his daddy (which is why his name is so perfect for him) until this year. He finally wants to have mommy time and misses me whenever I leave him. Better late than never bubba! I love you Levi Joe! You're amazing!

Break from the blog

As March begins, often we hope for a great thaw in our land. Now Georgia certainly doesn't have any icy soil that needs warming, but our yearning for more light and fresh newness to keep us from numbing appears universal. I have written on this blog for ten years now. From singleness to newlywed to mama of four sickly, but now active, growing boys. It's been a place for me to purge, process, and pray through some of life's biggest changes and challenges. It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines. I re...

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...
