Playing catch-up with photos

Posted in Family

I'm going to try to upload photos and post them over the course of the week and hopefully be "caught up".  Well, as best as I can be at this point.

Eliana has started music therapy.  We have had a lot of juggling to do to get this going.  She was supposed to start the week Joshua ended up in the hospital.  Then with the sickness getting passed around we missed some weeks in July too.  Hopefully now we'll be more regular in our time.

Eliana loves music!  She likes to dance, listen and to play instruments.  I'm so glad that she has this time and that our case manager suggested it for us! 

She is learning different concepts and skills and I'm finding ways to incorporate this into our daily lives.  I'm learning new things that I need to be teaching her because she is ready to learn.  I think it is going to be a great help for us!  The cabasa (below) is one of her favorite instruments!

Joshua and Christopher are playing football and practicing twice per week now.  It is going well and they are both enjoying their time.  They are in a great league with which we have had great experiences in the past.

Isaiah lost that other tooth.  I love the look of no front teeth on little kids and think it is really cute!

My sweet friend Catherine came for a visit so we could have some "girl's time".  We had fun and even got in some scrapbooking.  I'm thankful we can visit, but sure wish they still lived right next door!

 This is brief, but just a peek into a few more things going on in our days.  I hope your day is filled with God's blessings!

With love
Leslie

Music therapy helped our son a lot and he loved it. I am glad you are able to get that service. I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Dawn

Music therapy?! What a great idea. I love the "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" look also. And I am so glad you got to spend some quality time with your friend.

Leslie, it was neat to get a fresh peak into your life. That picture of Eliana on Christopher while doing push ups is too cute! I love the smile on her face - she looks like she is really enjoying that! :-) God bless you!

That's so nice that Eliana gets music therapy. Matthew loves music too. While we don't have individualized music therapy sessions, we will be going to a music class called Kindermusik, where they incorporate music and learning and language. It starts at the end of August and I am looking forward to it. Blessings to you too!

Little ones waiting in heaven



Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer

and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

v7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will

guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

v8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
