But, there have been some really good times too.
I'm determined not to get so caught up with sadness that I don't recognize the goodness.
Here are some of the good times...
What a DAD!
Summer is here. That means Mom has to be a little more creative to keep little minds and hands busy. Here are the boys with their edible (equal parts peanut butter & marshmallow cream) playdough creations.
At Caleb's school (Montessori) they have a "Celebration of Life" ceremony on their birthday. The child walks around a calendar on the floor while holding a globe. They walk around once for each year of their life and tell the class something that happened to them each year.
Last week, Eli walked into his primary class at church, looked around the room, and said, "I have bigger muscles than all of them!"
Lately Eli has been really into showing his muscles. He often asks for snacks or sugar. When I tell him, "no" he will respond, "But Mom, eating gets my muscles big, so I have to eat!"
He is also showing off his rash due to an allergic reaction to an antibiotic.
(Notice Ryan in the background.)
We get this ad in the mail ever few weeks.
The first time I thought it must have been a joke. But, we keep getting it!
It makes my day everytime!
We planted a garden this spring and are now enjoying the fruits of our labor!

April, I'm a little jealous of all that sunshine in good ole Arizona! :) We have had so much rain here, but finally getting some sunny days. The boys are getting so big, and Caleb!!!! What a grown up! I love the stories of how he is so independent. Reminds me of Jacob!
