Howdy! It's been a whirlwind few weeks without much time to blog. So this post will probably be choppy and full of many different updates. Our trip to the Mayo Clinic is still on but had to be postponed until December 9 to give time to get all the insurance approvals and travel arrangements made. After my dear mother graciously agreed to come stay with A and E, Greg and I were both free to take Phoebe on our 4 day trip to Rochester, Minnesota to see the neuro-opthomologist. After spending the day visiting her neurologist and gathering her medical records at the Children's Hospital yesterday, we are ready to go (well, not quite, but making great progress). She also saw an pediatric orthopedist this week at Shriner's Hospital who agreed that her back does curve quite a bit but her spine and hips are still within normal limits. She did get fitted for leg braces to help her learn to walk which we hope she will be ready for soon. She has shown greater interest in and ability to crawl lately also. We are waiting for her stander and adaptive stroller to arrive soon. Schooling has been going well in the midst of the hectic schedules lately. Here are some of the highlights of our times together. I cherish the closeness and fun times we have.
Andrew just finished his first novel, Naya Nuki. Phoebe seems interested in the story also! His ability to focus and retain information amazes us and is quickly exceeding me in knowledge from all the books he reads and Jonathan Park & Our Story Hour CD's. I knew it would happen some day but didn't quite expect it to happen with our 6 year old! This week turned out to be birthday celebration WEEK for Esther. She turned 4 on Tuesday and we began the festivities with cupcakes at her Bible study class (the kids and I attend Community Bible Study weekly). Afterwards she and Greg went to lunch together, and we concluded the day with some gifts and bowling on base. Today she had a tea party with a few friends. The doll cake and painting were her highlights. I was glad to see lots of smiling faces as tired as I was afterwards!
I am 24 weeks along now and feeling Baby C move all day. We discovered we're having a GIRL and its taken all month to become real. I never imagined having 3 girls - it seems like a daunting task but since Greg just went out and bought a shotgun for any future suitors I think we'll be fine! |
He had an exciting 2nd place finish in his AWANA Grand Prix this year with his Black Widow Spider racecar. He is loving his 4th year in AWANA and leaves me scratching my head with his Bible memorization. I feel I don't often blog about him so I had to brag on him a little this time! 
We're thankful everything seems to be moving along smoothly and easily for this pregnancy. It's hard to believe it's only 4 months until we add another lamb to the fold. Time seems to move so quickly lately. Comments
