hello?

I wish I could say that my absence means that I am getting lots of projects done, but it actually means that I have been enjoying my busy summer with the kids!  So far, it has been full of baseball, t-ball, softball, golf, swimming, VBS, visits with friends, and simply playing!  I wouldn't trade it for checking off any to-do list!

While I am checking in, I thought I would update you on Bayleigh.  I can't remember if I posted that she is finally walking...it's amazing, too!  She motors around here like crazy now, trying so hard to go as fast as her brothers and sisters do.  That little milestone, of course, has come with new challenges.  She is into EVERYthing.  And she's fast.  She started speech and occupational therapy a few weeks ago and is doing beautifully!  She is repeating words we say to her, although still not using more than a couple intentionally.  I can still see a difference between her and other toddlers her age, but I don't think I will be able to for long.  I am optimistic that the therapy is going to progress quickly.  Now that she is not concentrating so much effort on trying to walk, she can focus on the "little" things.  She is growing like a weed, too.  In fact, she "outgrew" her medication titration schedule!  Little stinker started having more seizures than usual because she is growing so fast.  A little tweak to the schedule, and we are back in business!  She is doing fantastic, and I stand in awe of God's goodness.  Prayers have certainly been answered!

A more detailed update on the fam coming soon...
