Clean Room! 11/15/11

Carter cleaned his playroom...all by himself!! Now he loves to have it clean and does a great job of keeping it that way. The other day he surprized me and cleaned the living room, kitchen table area, his bedroom and his playroom all by himself when he was home with Stephen! It was a great surprize!!

Colten's First Birthday - The Hungry Caterpillar

He had to have a milk free cake. It was pitiful, but he enjoyed it. We had family and James Hoover to join us for the little party. It was perfect. Can't believe he's already one. He had just started taking a few steps at 11months. Now (thirteen months) he is only walking, no more crawling. He says bye-bye, mama, dada, buba and oh, oh, oh!! He had a holding his breath spell that made him pass out or something in the middle of December (his first trip the the ER) then a week later his ear drum busted. Poor baby. We are leaning toward him not having a milk allergy, since he has been milk free for about two months and we see little changes. Have introduced cheese back in and he doesn't seem to be effected by it. He has a temper and cries alot still, but he evens that out with lots of smiles and giggles inbetween. We just found out that Shea is pregnant...due in August. Excited Colten will have a little cousin!!

Carter's Power-filled Prayers

For the last couple of months Colten has cried when I drop him off at school...or better stated is screams! And Colten's max length of nap has been 1 hr for the entire day. I have told Carter about this. This morning on the way to school Carter prayed for Colten to have a good day and to not cry. Colten had a great day. I dropped him off with NO TEARS!!! and he slept for 1 1/2 hours. What to say but...of course he did!!

I told Carter on my way out of his school about Colten not crying. The smile on his face was priceless. He was so excited that his brother was happy...he knew God had not only heard but had granted his request. How sweet that God blesses our children in such wonderful ways.

Tonight Carter's prayers were for a couple of my students to love God more, for God to help Baby Raelynn Fuller's family, and for Mr. Robert to get better.
