Mother's Day

Ben is taking off.....he is getting daring with his ability to stand on his own. He has taken a few steps on his own. His ability to cruise around furniture is growing. Bathtime is a highlight for him, he seems to love the water as much as his big sister. His skin continues to have flare ups and his eating is off and on. The progress with his helmet is going well, hoping his next appointment we will discuss the endpoint. 

Liv is loving the weather-she gets to play outside quite a bit. We have busted out the kiddie pool, she is enjoying her mermaid swimsuit. We have planted a few items and she is a great helper. The conversations we have these days are quite comical and we love them. One time before bed she asked to pray. She likes to throw in a few random objects, like her fan or Africa. Then as it is time to snuggle, she says wait someone is calling her (she has an old phone she carries around). I asked her who is calling and she tells me God. She tells him she is going to bed.


We all are recovering from a round of illness at the house-so far no one is standing strong. Ben got a stomache bug, Liv got an ear infection/soar throat, while Blake and I both got strep. Summer isn't starting off as well as we had hoped.

 Mother's Day was spent in Boone. The kids got to play with their cousins while dad got some needed friend time to recharge.
