Tonight’s theologic thoughts

Posted in Down's Syndrome, Faith and Healing, Miracles on October 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »

There was a time, before Matthew’s miraculous healing, when Aaron and I would lie awake in bed night after night crying, holding and comforting each other, and trying to “make sense of it all.”  We never said, “Why us?” – we knew there was no answer to that question.  Our questions were more along the [...]

SOOOO Big!

Posted in Down's Syndrome, Family Life, Micah on October 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »

A few days ago, we decided to try to teach Matthew to raise his arms up when we say, “How big are you?”  We had heard that the range of motion would be good for his arms, and up until now, he was not really raising his arms above his head.  We were curious to [...]

Wordless Wednesday

The boys were having fun in Matthew’s crib this morning.  They are starting to really play together, which I love to see.

This week’s project:  Applesauce!
We were blessed with a bunch of apples from a friends orchard, and have spent a lot of time this week making applesauce.  It’s the biggest canning project I’ve tackled all on [...]

A Little Chesterton

Posted in Uncategorized on October 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

A couple quotes from G.K. Chesterton.  His words speak so clearly to the issues of today, it is hard to believe he was born in 1874.  (Thanks to Shannon and Nami for sending the quotes!)
“Tolerance is a virtue of a man without conviction.  Conviction is the state of being convinced.  If there is no truth that [...]

My Links

I have recently added a lot of links to my sidebar, so I thought I would let you know what they are, and why they are on my site!  (It feels like I’m introducing you to my new friends, and in some cases, I am!)
By the way, anything that is written in red anywhere on this blog is [...]

Worth Reading

Libby, in her usual eloquence, beautifully addressed some very pertinent issues today.  Read her post, A Legacy of Life.  It has been an incredible blessing to have their family in our lives, and we love knowing that Matthew will have a friend like Charlie.

Another Day, Another Milestone

Posted in Down's Syndrome, Family Life, Micah on October 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Last night, Matthew was playing on the floor with some toys when he pushed himself back up into a sitting position all by himself!  It is a motor-skills milestone that we had just started to work on.  Way to Go, little one!  Your progress still amazes me.
We celebrated with the boys’ favorite activity:  a Bubble [...]

My Fun Day

Hi, everybody!
This is Micah.  I had a really fun day today, and wanted to share some pictures with you.  My daddy didn’t have to go to work today, and he didn’t even have to talk on his phone for work, so we got to have a lot of fun.
First, Daddy and I made his special [...]
