Joshua~ Has started crawling, he has his two front bottom teeth. He loves to eat anything and everything. He's still not a super sleeper and he's still been sick off and on....it seems like he is just more susceptible to lung infections...so much so that our great Doc suggested that we have him tested for Cystic Fibrosis. We did the test he is healthy as can be and does not have Cystic Fibrosis. There is still no explanation for his infections....maybe this will just be his/our challenge! He is such a joy....I love waking to his smile every morning. He has started playing games with us...he likes to play peek-a-boo and he likes to pretend he's going to sleep and then he pops up. So cute. He is walking along furniture and is getting more brave every day. He loves to be outside...the stroller is his best friend.
Cameron~Is my big helper. He loves his brother...almost too much sometimes. He learns something new everyday and reminds me so much of Cole...it's scary! He is such a trooper and tries his hardest most of the time. He can count from 0-15, can recite his abc's and can spell park. He knows his shapes...his colors and know which are primary colors and which ones to mix to get the other basic colors. He's taken a liking to learning to write his letters (kinda thought it would never happen). He loves to sit with Cole and watch science and history shows...it's amazing what this kid picks up. He is my first pride and joy...and makes me laugh all day long!
Cole~ Took a new job...in Alaska! We were separated by miles for just over 6 weeks. He is loving his new job...he is in such a great place mentally and emotionally. He loves living in Alaska and says he's glad we've finally joined him. He traveled the Al-Can with his dad at the end of March...it was quite the adventure but gave them the father-son time they hadn't had for a while and it sure sounds as if they enjoyed each others company.
I am holding up. This move has been hard on me. From the moment Cole took this job he's either been traveling or gone...so I had to pack and clean and move and get rid of everything on my own. It was emotionally exhausting....but I made it through. The boys and I were able to stay with family while Cole got established in Alaska....and we missed him terribly. We have been reunited for a little over 4 weeks now. It was bitter-sweet coming to daddy. We, of course, left all of our family and friends behind but we are making due.
Since we have been in the beautiful state we have had the opportunity to travel a little bit and really focus in on what is important. we have been living with the bare necessities for a few weeks now....it's pretty humbling! Thanks to Cole's grandparents we now have a real mattress to sleep on and a card table that is making due as a dining room table. Family is everything and we are really trying to rely on each other. Like I said before...Cameron is such a trooper...I believe this move has been the hardest on him.
Looking ahead, Cole's sister Shannon is pulling into town is just a few hours to spend the weekend with us. My little sis Emily will be here in two weeks to visit for a week and then at the end of July we get to see Mandi and her fam, another sister of Cole's! Looking forward to the wonderful long days and the warm sunshine!
