Our Journey So Far

I should be.......

....finishing my paper that is due on Sunday... BUT I am taking a break to post something VERY important!! Dane's FIRST HAIRCUT! :):)

He didn't stand still very well, but Mimi was able to cut off most of the fly-away hairs!

Dane also had his 15 month checkup this week. He weighs 28.6 lbs and is 33 inches tall. He is in the 90%ile for both height and weight! He sleeps from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Doesn't typically like being rocked to sleep--maybe once a week I will have to snuggle (oh darn!)

He LOVES basketballs (or any ball for that matter), loves to eat, and loves anything that Mia does. He watches her like a hawk!

He can sign more, please and all done.

He can say, "mama, dada, dog, up, light, ball, cup, bite/eat, more, uh (not the oh yet), and a lot of babble!

He is still a HUGE mama's boy :)

He likes to climb up on to the couch and sit like a big boy:

And I bet he would have looked just like his big brother.

Praying

For an amazing man, doctor, father, husband, uncle, teacher, coworker and friend to many....

My O.B. doctor, who I have a pretty close relationship with, was in a horrible accident last week and has suffered a brain injury along with multiple facial fractures.

He and his beautiful family (amazing wife and 5 daughters) could really use all of the prayers possible.

This man holds a very special place in my heart and doesn't realize the comfort he has brought to me and my family.

If you could, please pray for Dr. Jeffrey VanCuren.....

What an amazing man he is.

South Haven

We spent the weekend in South Haven with my entire family (they were able to stay the whole week, but my grad school externship kept us from the vacation during the week) :(

It's so beautiful and relaxing in South Haven. I can't wait to go back!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my babies!

Mia and Dane had their combined birthday party last weekend. We had so many family and close friends come out to help them celebrate! They had a great day and we appreciate everyone who took time out of their day to show these two how special they are to us!!

(I thought I had lost ALL OF MY PICTURES from the party because I kept getting an error with my memory card. When I uploaded some pictures from today, they were magically on my computer!!!)

So...here are just a few random pictures from the double birthday party!
