Updates on Boys

Thank you all so much for your prayers, emails, food, texts of encouragement, and visits. We have felt so loved and cared for by our family and friends during this time. The boys (the big one and the little one) are healing up quite well. Matt is up and walking around a lot. He is going pretty stir crazy but he has had some good buddies get him out of the house and one awesome mentor who brought him a half gallon of Blue Bell today!

He is also spending a lot of time with Moses. I think that ever since Moses was born, Matt has spent a lot of his time taking care of the older two so that I could give Mo the care he needs. However, this past week with not being able to be very far from the couch or bed, he has had a real opportunity to get to hold Moses on his chest and cuddle with him. It is sweet to watch them develop more of a bond.

The little guy got this awesome cast today. Once he found out that they had camouflage as a cast color option, he was thrilled. He told all the doctors that was what he was getting and then when they tried to talk me into a soft cast but told me the colors were blue, pink, or white...Boston exclaimed HARD CAST so he could get the camo one! Did I mention his favorite song is CAMOUFLAGE by Brad Paisley.

"Camouflage, Camouflage
designed by mother nature and by god
Camouflage, Camouflage
Oh you're my favorite color Camouflage"

And how am I you might ask? I am gonna be real with you...I am exhausted. The cute one with the camouflage cast is really cranky and Daddy is recovering well but can't physically do anything at this point besides lie down and take walks. His medicine keeps him in and out all day long so for about an hour he is talking and playing games with us and then all the sudden you look over and he's passed out for a couple hours. So each night when everyone goes to sleep, I have been taking in the alone time and gearing up for another day. But here's what I believe about it all...coincidences don't happen, there are only God ordained circumstances. God has our family right where He wants it and He is teaching us a lot about each other in this 1,000 sq foot house that we are all spending one hot July in together. And that excites me! I don't always love how the lessons are given but I do love that I worship a Heavenly Father who loves me enough to teach them to me.
