Quote of the Moment

This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see." Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place

Easter, and the week after....

Sorry this is a bit late. We had a crazy week last week with Samuel getting sick and then David got what Samuel had - poor guys! But they are both feeling better now so hopefully this week will be much nicer.
Anyway, Easter was great! On Saturday we went to the Kissimmee City Easter Egg Hunt and had quite a bit of fun
After church on Easter, Samuel made signed some thank you notes with his hand prints. That was some very messy business, but he really had fun. Plus, he got to take a bath afterwords which he always loves!

Now for some exciting announcements! Samuel had a very exciting week. While he stayed home with me on Tuesday and Wednesday, he decided he would grab on to his little car and walk across the living room! What a champ. Then on Wednesday evening Samuel started to crawl. The excitement then continued today....on Wednesday I had made some Mac & Cheese and gave some to Samuel hoping that he would at least play with it. He touched it and was absolutely disgusted by the feel of it. However, today I made some more Mac&Cheese, and while David and I were eating our lunch Samuel reached out and grabbed some Mac & Cheese - and then he put it in his mouth!!!!
As you can tell in that last picture, he is pretty darn proud of himself. David and I are quite proud too. He is coming along so well. He is suppose to be getting some physical therapy and some speech therapy to help with the gross motor skills along with the eating and word recognition. That hasn't even started yet, but he is still progressing so quickly. What a smart little guy!

Just Watched This

I guess everyone has judged someone solely on appearance. I know I have been on both sides of that so I just thought I would post this video. I found it very touching!

More Pictures

We went to the Spring Fling for David's work.

There was an Easter Egg Hunt.

And face painting!




However he was finished with the picture taking in this next picture. Is it mean that I think that he is cute when he cries? Of course we didn't just keep taking picture upon picture, but how could we pass up taking a pouty face picture!

And here is a picture of Samuel in his suit -all dressed up for church last Sunday! This suit came from Samuel's cousins, Lance and Dylan.
