Three Months


Well, it's the 19th again. He would have been three months old today. My current state of emotional health? Fairly good, I think. I'm sad when I think of Thanksgiving or Christmas and what we're missing with him gone. But I keep remembering that we will see him again someday.

We got the key to our new home today. It was so exciting. I haven't been there yet but Ethan stopped in and turned the heat on. I like how he thinks. :)

Today's conversation with Emmie:

Me: What are you grateful for this year?

Her: God

Me: OH, that's SO sweet honey! What else are you grateful for?

Her: Nothing.

Sigh. What else can I expect from my silly three year old? At least she's thankful for God.

I think we might be making progress on the potty training front. Ryan tried wiping his own bottom while I changed a dirty diaper tonight. It was not helpful. We actually haven't begun training him yet because he's not real interested. Oh well. He's my third kid. I'm not trying to set any records with this one.

Seattle was good. I forgot my camera. We went running the first morning on HILLS. I haven't done that before. Here I was all proud of myself for being able to run with my hubby, but the first time I have to run uphill I age fifty years. Running uphill bites. I'm glad we're moving to a flat town.

That is so exciting to have keys to a new home! When is your first night there?

I can only imagine the pain that will come with the holidays this year. Just remember how much fun Isaac is having with his Father. You'll continue to be in our prayers.

I am not of fan of pushing potty training. Especially that ryan is small. I f the abdominal muscles aare not well developed, then they are really ready to control their bowels. We let robby do it early, cause he was interested. That's why he will be on miralax for the rest of his life.Constipation is the result of training too early and it can be lasting.

I'm so happy for the house, we'll come by this weekend. not sure what the weekend holds yet.

I wanna hold that boy so badly. I can't wait. One more reason I'm thankful for grace and salvation.

I was thinking and praying for you all day yesterday. As I will continue to do on the 19th of every month and any other time I feel like it. :) Gotta love Emmie, she's one of my favorites. ;)
Despite the hard times, we have a lot to be thankful for, don't we? Congrats on the house! We love you guys!

We also got our keys on the 19th! It was such an exciting day. We have been taking a few loads over but our big day is this Saturday. When is your official big move?

You have such precious pictures of you guys with your little Isaac. I am sure that it is really comforting to know that you will be able to see your precious little boy again. Hang in there and we will most likely see you all soo!
