My baby is walking!
Ellie has been trying really hard for the last couple weeks to get up and walking. When we were up north we saw some great strides in her walking ability but she was still crawling a lot. Well this past week she has turned a corner and I don't think she is going back! She is practically running around the house and last night she conquered a very grassy back yard. I am so glad that she was home when she made this monumental step in her short life. I also am sad because she is growing up so fast. She seems so much bigger and less like a baby when she walking all over the place.
Overall I just feel blessed. Both Mateo and Elisabeth are doing so well overall. Last night on the way back from a cookout I looking in the back seat and they were just sitting there as happy as can be holding hands. It was so precious and defiantly a snapshot I will keep in my head for a long time. God has blessed us beyond measure. When we get a camera that works with the computer I will get some walking pics up!
Blessings,
Laura

I'm so happy for you that you could be with Ellie when she made the big move from crawling to walking. God is so good. I know the "growing up too fast" feeling all too well. We're still working on our shrinking machine invention. Everyone always told me it goes so fast, and there were those moments when I was up to my eyeballs in diapers and toddlers that I wished it would, but those moments definitely didn't last long. Enjoy! In the good and bad moments, God is still good.
Love ya,

OH WOW! What a precious little pair you have there. CONGRATS on having them home. Ohhhhh walking... well this stage is so cool though. I think you are getting to the best part. I love the toddler thing. BUT it's always a little sad when you realize they are getting bigger. When Zoe came home I went through this grieving process for the things I missed. I am fine about it now but I had to work through that sadness. I don't even know what she looked like as a baby. Then of course I was crying all day when Kaitlyn turned four. I'm a mess. :0) Angel
Laura--Thank you so much for your encouraging words on my blog. Your kids are adorable!!! It's so encouraging to hear from other moms that brought home toddlers and have found that the transition is okay for the little kiddos. Kids are amazing how they just adapt so quickly.
Okay, now for the strange question...you look strangely familiar and if I don't ask I'll always wonder but I'm probably just thinking of someone who looks like you (everyone has a twin right?)...did you grow up in Archbold, OH? Don't think I'm a freak if you didn't. :)
Thanks again. I look forward to following your journey now that your precious kids are home!
or did you go to Anderson University? Okay, I'm done being weird.
