Crazy Morning

As a Presbyterian, I am not predisposed toward coincidences. So it shouldn't surprise me that on the morning both my children decide to drive me to drink, Aubrey reads the "Thank You Prayer" book out loud (with some serious rewrites on her behalf) and I check in on a friend's post and am reminded how grateful I should be that both of my kids are currently healthy. Another friend and I discussed how difficult it seems right not that we will be back in school in another three weeks, passing our children to different caretakers for the majority of the day. All of this combines to make me review the hectic, "are you serious?" morning in a completely different light. Thank You, God, for always showing us what we need to see.

Eli's Walking!

So Eli is now officially a walker. He has been so close for so long. Everyone (doctor included) would watch him cruise and say, "Any minute now!" But laid-back Eli kept us waiting until 13 months (almost to the day). Today I watched him walk around our play area outside for the first time. It was like a whole new world for him (and me!)
