Encouraging

Derek had a follow up visit with his gastroenterologist last week, and he seems to be doing well :)He gained a little over a pound since his last visit, and has grown taller too! While he is still getting most of his calories from the formula, we have been encouraged recently as he is choosing to eat more real food. And oh my, if he isn't the most adorable thing these days. I wish I could just hit a pause button and enjoy this time in his life for longer. The time between 18months- 24 months is my very favorite, and I'm loving every minute of it.
I know I've been slacking on posting recently. I just kept hoping that the knowledge of how to use my editing software would creep into my brain all on it's own. But now I realize that it's going to take me quite a while to really figure it out and I should just go ahead a post pictures as they are.
There is a train parked on some unused tracks nearby, and we took the kids to see the "choo-choo" up close.







We had a taste of spring, which then left us overnight. It is freezing out today and really windy too. Hopefully spring will come back soon-- we can't wait!

The spring keeps going into hiding here too. I want it here to stay!

Those are adorable shots! I wish we had a parked choo-choo by our house. I don't think I'd be able to get Bryon away from it...that's right, I said Bryon, not Collin.
