Our weekend

On Friday, we added a new member to our family. This is Henry and he is 4 months old. He has quickly learned that with a little squeal he will get picked up and also receive a carrot.:)


Hey Jimmy!:)


A pic of Elijah getting his breathing treatment. He's such a big boy. I just love his little mask.:)



My Dad came over and visited with us on Sunday. We had a very nice visit and Caleb spent a lot of time on Papa's lap.


We concluded our Sunday with Caleb and his pal George saying their bedtime prayers. We continue to pray for dear sweet Kristen (whose button is at the top right side of my blog). Kristen is battling leukemia for the fourth time (yes, I said fourth). We pray that she will become healthy and free of it once and for all. Please click on her button and visit her blog. Please pray for her too, won't you? We have also been praying several times a day, for Chrissie who has been fighting for her life for the last week. She was born with a severe heart defect that should have taken her life at just a couple days old, but Chrissie has lived four years so far. After being adopted six months ago by a wonderful and faithful family, Chrissie had heart surgery last Monday. Chrissie is very sick and in need of our prayers. God has brought Chrissie back after dying twice during the last week. Please pray for this precious little princess. You can also visit her blog by clicking on her button (right under Kristen's button). God Bless you and have a wonderful week!

E is for Elijah


I can't tell you how much JOY Elijah has brought us! He is just so cute and we have so much fun with him each day. He is quite a character and has such a great sense of humor! He is also very smart! Right now, he has started pointing to and saying the letter E whenever he sees it. He gets very excited like he's thinking "Wow! Check out that E!" He knows that E is for Elijah and also for Elmo. So it must be a very important letter, right?!:)

Power Brushing




Both Caleb and Elijah received battery operated toothbrushes in their Easter baskets this year. I wasn't sure how Elijah would like it since he is fearful of new things. He was hesitant to try it, but once he saw Caleb use it, he was convinced that it was "cool"! They have always enjoyed brushing their teeth, but now they come running into the bathroom when I say "It's time to brush your teeth!"
