The park

This past week we were blessed with many beautiful days. I took the boys any time we had a chance--life is short and there are memories to be made. Alex loved his first ride in the swing--Ryan can never get enough. After about two hours, Alex was passed out and I was exhausted from swinging Ryan. We had such a good time big boy fell asleep on the way home. Luckily I got him out of the truck and into the house without incident. He slept for almost three hours before I woke him up. What a day!!! I look forward to going back again soon.

As a side note, I took Alex for his 6 month check-up this week. He weighs 16 lbs, 4 oz. and is 27 inches. Long and thin. Just perfect!!!

sippy, yipee!!

The little man is getting older and beginning to try more new things. In the past few days we have been working with a little water in the sippy cup. So far he has seemed to do okay. He actually held it and moved it to his mouth. Wow, where does the time go?

working hard

so determined

getting started

Painting

It is sometimes difficult to keep Ryan busy. This past weekend (yes it has taken me this long to post it) we painted. I had gotten some little trains and paints which I thought would really create an interest. He had so much fun and Alex just sat in his highchair and watched. We had such fun just spending quality time together. Oh the memories....

Pray, pray, pray

For all of those in blog world get on your knees. Today Wednesday, April 2, 2008--Nate's birthday--TRICIA GOT HER LUNGS!!! They are in the OR right now as I type. Please pray for them, the surgeons, the donor family, and the donor that his heart was right with God and he is in a better place. Check out their blog to see pics before she went to the OR. There are still plenty of risks involved especially since Tricia was still on a vent, plus the risk of rejection. There are still long days and nights ahead, but the future is getting brighter. With God's hand and a lot of prayer, baby Gwyneth will be able to grow up with her dad and MOM. Praise God for his love and his mighty works!!!
