Henry has taken his first solo steps!!! He has been cruising... and I do mean cruising around the house with a little shopping cart, but yesterday he walked to Mommy with out any helping hands!!! He won't walk to any one but Mommy.. but he's making progress. And then, every night when Daddy leaves for work the kids give him hugs and kisses and then watch out the door as he drives away. Well tonight Henry parked his shopping cart in front of the rug and walked at least five steps to the door all by himself, with out mom asking him to or help from any one!!! It was awesome! So exciting to see him continually moving forward! Hooray! He'll be walking in no time! He so loves to chase around the house with Elizabeth and her stroller.
We went out in the jeep the other day, just bogging around in our yard.. with tons and tons of snow.... and Henry LOVED it! He wanted to sit as close to the windshield as he could so he could see everything! He was laughing and really excited... and definitely didn't want to get out of the jeep. :)
We are having so much fun being at home! And although Elizabeth is still checking to see if we're staying in Alaska every day.. I think she's excited to be home. Not really that excited about change... even when I moved the table around.. she got upset. Silly girl.
While life is wonderful for us right now, a lot of friends are still having lots of struggles, and my heart goes out to them, and they are in my prayers. I am so grateful for the experiences we have had over the last two years, and am even more grateful for the peace and calm we have enjoyed over the last few weeks! What great miracles fill our lives every day.
That is so EXCITING! Wow he is growing up! We sure do miss you guys since you have been gone. It is so good to hear that Henry is continuing to get better and better. I am so happy for you and happy for Henry. Happy that you are home in Alaska where you can be with your sweet husband everyday. I can't imagine how hard that must feel to be apart a lot... all the time. All I can say is that you two are AMAZING!!! You have endured it even until the end. We love you all and hope to come out and play with you soon.
