Cold again

Where did that Spring weather we were braggin about go??? Today has been just a miserable 34 degrees and rain all day. Five day forecast is for rain, rain, cold and yet more rain. UGGGG this is a horrible time to have Spring fever.

Dawson is still doing really well. He has been such a happy little man this past week. I think he finally feels good after being sick most of this winter. His evenings have been spent roaming back and forth between the den and play room playing his little heart out. He is really loving Noggin on TV. This morning he saw an activity book for Madison that had " Blue" from " Blues Clues" on it and he chimed in " Blues Clues!!!" He knows and can say " Dora" from Dora the Explorer" as well as " backpack." If you haven't seen the shows then absolutely none of this makes any sense. But if you have then you know perfectly well what I'm talking about.

It seems our house is mostly run by Noggin. There is at least one TV in the house that is turned on Noggin 24/7. The kids love it and when they are watching it it does allow Allison and I a little down time in the evening. Soooooo everybody wins.

As mentioned before Dawsons language skills continue to develop at an age appropriate rate which we are so thrilled about. I swear it seems as if he is learning and saying different words every day now. Hes just so ........ well, normal is the best word I can think of and the fact that he is , is such a miracle. It has been so long since we have seen a seizure that is seems like all that was just some bad dream or something. I remember in the beginning of all this how sad I was. I just so afraid that the worst was in store for us. That the son I had so longed for,was not going to be able to do all the things I had dreamed of us doing. That he would be physically challenged and mentally challenged..... What I didn't know at the time was that God had very different plans for us as long as we completely trusted him.... I want everyone who reads this to know how thankful we are to him for that miracle of healing. I can't imagine one day that will go by as long as I am on this earth that I wont thank him.

Also ( with the exception of last night) he is sleeping soooooo much better at night. He is only waking a couple of times at night now. We are so glad to be sleeping the greater part of the night now. Keep it up little man you are doing so good!!!

Thank you for your support and prayers. We love you!

Jeff and Allison
