Growing Babies

The babies have been teething!  And, no one has been getting much sleep around here.  Today Miranda got her Orajel, then after breakfast, playtime, movies and nursing, went to sleep.  Andrea followed soon after. Being on shift work, Kat and Andy have also went to sleep and I have the house to myself.  It is nice and quiet and I am going to enjoy that for a little bit.

At seven months, the babies are everywhere.  They are starting to crawl, walk, and are into everything they see.  They love Vegetales on netflix, and the Gigglebellies videos on the internet. It is exciting to see how they just move along and go into the next step of babyhood.  We don't teach them to crawl, walk, sit or talk-- it is in their nature. 

As they gum everything, with those little teeth coming in, you realize that it also helps them develop chewing habits for their food. 

Isn't God amazing!  He created each step of baby's progress to work together with the other steps.  It is truly a miracle happening before our very eyes.   We watch and stand in awe of such an awesome God.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing to all the greatest love of all -- the love of our Savior!  The Lord is returning soon, be ready.

Brrr -- What a Bone-Chilling Wind!

The dogs went outside, happily checked out the yard and then settled into the garage for their food when I brought it out.  I hung up a heat lamp, in the garage, for them, hoping it would keep them warm.  However, they completely ignored the nice warm spot that was being lit up and followed close on my heels to come back into the house.  That wind is so bitterly cold!  Tomorrow it will get above freezing again and we will then be on our way to those 40 degree temps we have so enjoyed this winter!

Everywhere the political race for the republican candidate is in the air.  That millions of dollars are being infused into the economy is a plus.  The debates with their issues and the differences in candidates is a plus.  What really dissappoints me is when people call themselves the best conservative and what they really mean is the best "Christian".  Then will turn-around and discount what his opponent says, and take something the opponent says and turn it into a lie as to what was said.   I will be glad when the race is over. 

My prayer is that God will choose the candidate He wants to lead the country in these last days.  God help us all.

A Time of Healing

After the first day with the therapist, I felt so good and so back to normal that I thought I was "healed".   Then, on day two, I could hardly walk.  The therapist had gotten rid of the pain, but apparently after eight years, my joints and muscles don't just change overnight.  We are now doing progress at a steady pace with therapy and an exercise routine to keep everything in alignment and resetting it as needed.  I am looking forward to summer, when I really will be able to be normal again!!  Hopefully, there will be a complete healing before then!!

God is good.   His graciousness and His love has kept us and has given us all pathways to adventure and love.  Whatever comes, whatever happens, He will deliver us.
