Another Josie post
And no, she's not walking yet but we are getting close. She has started walking along the walls so she's not just holding onto to edges to walk. She is pushing around laundry baskets and chairs in order to walk. Josie has even made a falling/dive type step from the ottoman to the couch. We are making progress here! Sooner Start (the program that sends people to your house to work with your kiddos and their developmental delays) is going to come out once every 2 weeks to work with Josie. We start on the 3rd of Sept. I will keep you updated on her progress. And you can bet there will be a video of her walking! Go ahead...watch her again, she is just so darn cute!

6 month check up
So after our easy (but a little sad) time at the dentist we went to Target and the boys picked out new toothbrushes. The dentist gave them Sponge Bob and Shrek, neither of which my kids watch or I like very much. Gabriel chose Hulk, Luke has Power Rangers, and Kaden chose one that looks like an orange Crayola crayon. We are all set! Then I took the kiddos to Chick-Fil-A and they all ate a great dinner and they played and played at the playpark. It was a good afternoon and evening for us. We needed it and we got it!
I promise I will be back with pics soon!

The POWER of prayer

YUM!
*We are all doing well. Luke and Kaden are loving school, Luke seems to be enjoying the social aspect of it all mostly, that makes me kinda nervous. We will see how that goes. Kaden loves everything about school and still is bummed because he has had no homework yet.

White, Newton, Tell, and Eve...
Think about it...
It'll come to you.
I'll wait...
You got it yet?
Apples. Now let's add the name Harmon to the list. Let me explain, yesterday I falsely reported that my toilet was fixed. The first time it was used, it overflowed again. I called my wonderful handy man back out and he took apart my toilet to find the source of the issue. You guessed it, an apple. An apple was lodged in my toilet drain. Have you ever heard of such a thing? It had to have been Kaden or Gabriel but as both have denied and admitted it, I don't know which one. So we have had the same conversation about 30 times today: "What goes into the toilet? Potty, poop, and toilet paper. NOTHING else!" A good lesson to pass onto all you other parents out there. Teach your kids early. I am thankful to have my bathroom back in working order. I still just can't believe it. An apple...seriously?!

Dancing machines
Thought it was about time to share my kids' skills. I caught 3 of them on video showing off their stuff. Gabriel starts it off with some dancing at Uncle Thad and Aunt Jackie's wedding, Kaden joins in the fun:
Next we have Kaden reprising his craziness at the wedding reception to one of Aunt Jackie's favs, MJ's Billie Jean:
Josie closes it with Smooth. She was really dancing but her brothers running around kinda upset her groove but she sure is cute to look at!
Aren't they just too fun?! I'll have to post one of Luke soon. I put on my IPOD in the kitchen while I "make" dinner (did you like that honey?!), it's on while we eat, and then I turn it up for clean up time. That is when we get down. GOOD STUFF!!!
By-the-way, my toilet is fixed now. :)

All Too Soon
What cute kids are those!!! Next I wanted a picture of my hubby and I. The boys helped with this. Here is Luke's pic: (yes, I cropped a bit...)Not too shabby. Here is Kaden's try:Next, was Gabriel's shot:He tried! Mom made the picture at least! He was so proud of himself.
Michael saying good-bye to the kiddos. I cannot explain to you how precious these hugging pictures are to me. They are such a comfort when Michael is gone. Josie just smiled and laughed at her Daddy, she loves him so.
One last shot of Daddy saying good-bye when we got to the airport. Fitting that it was raining...I did a pretty good job of holding it together, of course I cried but I didn't bawl. That was a huge step for me. Luke had a hard time and REALLY cried all the way home. "But I don't want my Daddy to leave." "Why does his work need him to be somewhere else?" I was pretty teary and Kaden kept saying "Don't cry Mom. Please don't cry. I don't want to cry, please don't cry." Gabriel didn't say much of anything, just watched Luke. And Josie, sweet baby, just "DaDa DaDa"-ed ALL THE WAY HOME. We love you and miss you already Daddy. Stay safe! We'll be praying!Friday, August 08, 2008
