Sorry, we've been MIA

Obviously I am a horrible blogger, I feel guilty that I haven't posted anything in such a long time...the good news is we are all doing OK. The kids are currently on Spring Break and everything, thankfully, is running at a much slower pace this week. It's Thursday which means that won't last much longer.

Emma is nearing the end of 4th grade, it's bittersweet as I know this time next year we'll start thinking about Middle School. She just finished up with the State Swim Meet, she sawm the 50 yd Butterfly. Her coach told her qualifying for anything the first year of competitive swimming was quite the accomplishment. She is all about the Swimming and has proclaimed herself as a "Swimmer Girl" she even wants her room redecorated to reflect that...sounds like fun!

Adam is finishing up 1st grade, he has an amazing teacher that makes me feel so fortunate that he's at the school he's at. He keeps me busy, March was a busy month all around. He had several doctors appointments including a trip to Nashville to see the Neurologist. We are tweaking his seizure medication again, hoping for a little better control but wondering if we are headed toward a Vegas Nerve Stimulator anyway. Later this month we head to Montreal for another therapy clinic visit...that is a hard trip on us as it's so far away but I am sure it will be OK once it's here. We typically drive which is at least 17-18 hours one way (we break the trip up over two days.) Out of the four of us Adam handles the drive the best, he doesn't mind being in the car and doesn't even need a DVD player to occupy him!

I wanted to let you know about a revival we had at our church last month. A man of God from Uganda, Africa came to minister to us. We could not attend all the services but we were blessed by the ones we did attend. Sometimes I think Christians in America have forgotten the fundamental basis of true worship, perhaps we never learned it to begin with. On the Friday of the revival we had Onesimus pray for Adam - words can not fully explain what that was like. But I can tell you that was POWERFUL and unlike any experience I've ever had. God continues to form our lives on this journey with Adam - our story is already an amazing one and I believe God will continue to reveal his mystery to us thru this child.

We also got a new puppy, his name is Toby - a West Highland Terrier. He's currently four months old and a welcome addition to our family.

Take care my friends and may God continue to bless each one of you.
