We've survived!!!!

WoW! I can't believe we made it this week! It was a long week but a fruitful one at that. I started back to work, with God's grace and mercy, I survived being away from the kiddos. My heart hurt a bit but after calling my parents numerous times to check how they were doing, I made it through the week. Both Brian and I are very tired today, and I think the kids could use a nap too. Maybe we will all take a nap. :)

Well, Grayden had his second Awana's group this week. He's really enjoying going and already has his bible verse down pat! :) YEAH GRAYDEN!!! :) It's been fun watching him start what he calls "School" His favorite bible story right now is, Jonah and the Whale. He tells it with such excitement. Oh the faith of a child! I LOVE IT!!!

Grayden also went for his testing today with the Kent school district. Brian was able to take the day off and go with us. What a blessing that was. We were able to talk to several people that will be working with Grayden as he begins his journey in education. He did really good with the testing. We will be going back for further testing on the 29th of this month and to meet with the school psychologist as well. The next set of testing will be more detailed on 3 different areas, fine moter skills, behavior and social skills. Please keep him in your prayers and us as parents as well. As we will be learning new things and making some decisions for the future for Grayden. May God's hand be in all things.

As for Johnnie - he's Johnnie. He's still ---- "I STUCK, I STUCK!!!! ME OUT ME OUT!!! " to everything. but is very much so our little helper. He wants to help with everything. and is such a joy. He's managed this week to get two fat lips. earlier this week, he put his teeth through the lower lip.. and this morning, he split his gum/upper lip on something else. He's a rough and tough kind of guy! so I'm sure there is more to come.

Emma - well, the princess is doing well. She's talking more and more and loves to be around her brothers. She loves to watch people and will follow them all around the room. She's our little angel.

I'll be posting more pictures soon.

We are being blessed by an evening alone tonight. My parents agreed to watch the kids, so we can spend an evening alone celebrating our anniversary! 9 years!! It's hard to believe it's been that long! But what a blessing we've been given! Our love is stronger each and everyday. and Blessed by God! tata for now... I need to get the kiddos stuff together so mommy and daddy can go play tonight! --- quiet... we are going to have a quiet house.. what do you do with that? mmm....
