j-a-c-o-b

jacob is learning letters- loves letters! he only knows a dozen or so right now, and every word is spelled with those 12 letters. our tv has the brand name printed right below the screen - jacob will walk up to the tv, point at each of the letters, and spell "B - R - X - E - O" (VIZIO)



so we hung letters in his room spelling his name, and he has been getting lots of practice with that.




UPDATE on my mom:


thank you to those of you who have been praying for my mom and her recent surgery. the surgery on friday was a success. there were complications after her surgery, but God was good, and the doctors/surgeons were able to stop her bleeding. she moved from ICU to her own room yesterday afternoon and is now on the road to recovery. she is very tired and in a lot of pain. we still covet your prayers for her as she starts the recovery process. she will be in the hospital for another several days, off work for 4-6 weeks, and will be very limited in what activities she is allowed to do.


kate continues to be a cutie pie. she is smiling and coo-ing a lot and has just discovered her hands- they are in her mouth all the time!

What a JOY!!! Yea!!!, Jacob! I love how he said "B" after you said the "O". And, Yea!!! for Kate--finding her hands and using them...soon she'll be pushing in food with them...I love the smile! What sweeties they are.

I continue to pray for your mother. Keep us all up to date, OK?

Jacob seems to be miles beyond Isaac in communicating clearly. Way cute video! I'm telling myself it's because he's a firstborn and all Isaac's time with his siblings will get him caught up. Noah's learning in leaps and bounds, it's just been in his own timing!
Hope it's okay for me to check out your blog. I found it through a link on Candace's. I love to see what other Christian mommies are doing, hear what they have to say, and be encouraged by them.
