I haven’t figured out a way to copy and paste an entire post and pictures from my old blog to this one, but here’s the link to a fun post from 8 years ago:

February 2nd. Groundhog's Day. Also, Elli's birthday. Our little groundhog turned 6! Six years of spunk and spitfire. While adding another child to our already large family just 14 months after the previous wouldn't have been MY plan, God knew she was just what we needed. That's the thing about God... His plans are always better than we could imagine, and our plans often fall short of His best for us. We've seen it time and time again in our journey. When I found out I was pregnant with Elli, God and I had words. It wasn't the first, or last, time this has happened. I don't always agree with what He has planned for me. Yet, as I said, His plan is always better, and He always knows just what we need.
At 6, Elli is VERY into unicorns. She enjoys all things "Frozen". She has opinions and is not afraid to share them! She loved the idea of going to school, but isn't loving going quite as much. She does enjoy her teacher and classmates, so it may be an issue of having to follow someone else's plan for her day. ;) This was loss number 2 and 3 for this girl but required some help from mom. She may have cried a bit but got over it quickly, and now she has a cute little lisp. ;) There *should* be a fourth one out, but if you look closely you can see a tooth that came in behind a baby tooth (bottom right - your’s, not her’s). It was the same with the other bottom tooth but I managed to get that one out while it was still manageably loose. Unfortunately, she refuses to wiggle the other one and it will likely not come out until its neighbor gets loose as well. *sigh*
Not only do our nurses love Ki and take great care of him, but they are quite accommodating to his siblings as well. 😊💗 This particular style was courtesy of Phoenix and Tempe.
Remember a few posts back when I mentioned we had more big news? It certainly should not have taken me this long to share, but here I am... finally!
Well, as of today Hezekiah has been off oxygen for an entire week!! I mentioned in an earlier post that we had done a couple of trials. The first was 3 hours, the second lasted 3 days, but now I feel confident to say that he is officially off oxygen. 😊 It's possible that as we enter into this season of colds and respiratory illnesses we will need to go back on, but I am hopeful that we can keep him healthy and stable as is! God is so good!! (Please excuse all the exclamation points... I'm pretty excited about this news. lol)
He adores his sister. 😍 |
