pictures from this spring

Enjoying an early spring walk on the little road by our house. 

This is one of my all-time favorite photos of my three men!

Luke getting his first haircut from cousin Kelsey.  Yes, he needed one.  Thanks, Kels!  

Uncle Josh visited a few weeks ago! 

I love this photo, too.  Luke comes to help me get Elijah ready for the day, and usually there are hugs and both of them are happy to see each other.  So sweet! 

In other news, our little baby is scheduled to arrive via induction (if he waits until the due date) on May 19th!  Such an exciting time to be getting ready for.  I feel so, so blessed with the little family God's given us.

We're doing lots of big and little projects around our house and yard.  This is our first spring in our "new" house and it feels like there's so much to do, especially having bought a fixer-upper that hasn't been well cared for.  So thankful to have a house though!  The tulips I planted last fall have started to bloom (my first tulips ever), and Todd cut the grass for the first time last night. So here we go, home-ownership! 

I've been so out of touch with this blog...look forward to keeping you more updated. 

My last post was about Elijah's surgery in Texas, and things went well for him.  We are totally impressed with how much he's gained in terms of movement and some new skills due to that surgery.  However, it was a rough three months following the surgery for him.  He was very uncomfortable and pretty fussy at times.  So glad that's behind us now and he can just enjoy being able to move a bit more than before.  Thanks for your prayers!
