Sorry it has been FOREVER since my last post, our computer crashed :(
Anyways, things here are great! Both kids are doing wonderful!!
Davis
has been fully cleared and it appears his hernia healed on its own,
praise the Lord! You would never even know he was a gastroschisis kid :)
He is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, and a happy little 2 year old! He was
completely potty trained right when he turned 2 in November so that has
been pretty nice for mommy! He has a LOT to say and he never stops
moving. He loves to help out with Rory, mows the lawn with his John Deer
tractor, cruises up and down the sidewalk on his scooter, and even
gives me driving tips from the backseat :) His favorite day of the week
is Sunday because he gets to go to preschool at church, we are beginning
to fill our house with art projects from class :)
Our
little blue eyed Rory is a sweetheart! She is chunky and her doctor
loves it! She is still on her special formula but is also eating baby
food and crackers now but we are holding off on all dairy products until
she is a year to make sure she processes everything okay. Once she
turns a year old we will go slow on transitioning just to be safe. She
has 2 tiny teeth on the bottom and is working on a few more. She
chatters all day long and loves to quack like a duck :) She claps for
all of Davis' tricks and waves her "parade wave" to anyone or anything
she passes by.
KOIN 6 did a story on our family and our odd situation, if you would like to see here is the link...
Our
other exciting news it that we have started the adoption process in
Ethiopia through All God's Children International. It is a 3 year
process so we have a long road ahead but we are very excited what the
Lord has planned for our family! The more research I do the more heartbreaking it is to discover just how much need there is....There are 5 millions orphans in Ethiopia alone. We would really appreciate your
prayers!!! Here is the link to the program we are working with if you
are curious.... www.allgodschildren.org
Thanks for your continued support and prayers!!
