Good day!!!

Today was a good day. Up early and took Wilson for a walk. Came back and started laundry. Eli woke up and followed around while drinking his milk. Made pancakes for breakfast. Hung out and read a few books, took a bath, danced to the wiggles, had lunch, took a nap, played some more, had a play date, took another nap, so did I, made dinner, played some more, made a pineapple upside down cake and then Eli to bed for the night.
The BEST part of the day was sitting in Eli's room tonight reading books with dad. As we wind down and get ready for bed, I suggest that we pray as a family tonight. So I started and said a prayer, then Justin put El on his lap and taught him how to intertwine his little fingers and prayed with him. Boy did that ever melt my heart.

Thank you Lord for a man that leads his family in pray and teaches his son the way.


P.S....Hi grandma Great!!!!!!!!we are glad your reading our log!!!!!!

two weeks

So its been two weeks since my mom went to CO......and so far I am doing okay. It really helps that we can talk on the phone, half of the time we forget that we are half of a country away. The other day as we were getting off of the phone I said "okay see ya later"......da no I wont she's in CO not here. I guess it will take some time to adjust..

In other news, Eli has his cast off. That was a little on the traumatic side. He didn't like "cast cutter"at all. But as soon as she turned it off he was fine, well until he had to get an x-ray....he is all to familiar with that room and knew the minute we walked in what was gonna happen. We survived and brought the cast home with us for posterity I guess. It's tucked away in the closet with all of the posterity stuff.We may have a new family member, no sorry not a brother or sister for Eli. Well at least not of the human sort. Wilson is his name and he is a lab/boxer mix. He is black with a white patch on his chest. He does really good with Eli and Eli really loves him. He is only 8 months so he is a little rambunctious, but I think that will change with some extra special attention. We will know by the end of the weekend if will keep him or not....but it looks promising!!!!!

Peace and Love till next time......

Life is really changing

What a crazy last few weeks....

Mom waiting to here from Colorado

Eli breaks his leg

Justin gets chest pain and we spend 2 days in the hospital

Get home from the hospital and my mom gives me the good news that.......she is MOVING to CO

Hip Hip Hooray....

It is truly a bittersweet moment....She will have a great job, get to spend time with Mark and live in Colorado...that is the sweet....the bitter, I won't have my mom with in a minutes drive if I need/want her....Thank the Lord for Skype and Verizon to Verizon unlimited talk.....I guess this means that I will have to visit Co more often, O' shucks.....

Eli is really going to miss his GAGA. It has been great watching them these last few days....Now there relationship will be even sweeter when he will travel to spend a week or more with his GAGA in CO.....what kid wouldn't be ex-tactic about that?

And to top it all of Justin will begin is 18 month journey to earning a Bachelors degree starting in a few weeks.....every week on Tuesday nights......five week classes for 18 straight months.....and when he is done he will have a degree in Leadership and Ministry.....I can't wait to see where God will take us after that.....COLORADO maybe??

Peace and Love for now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
