month day

now that marit and graham are over two and one, i probably don't need to blog about every month day. however, today is a very significant one. graham is exactly 15 months old, which is exactly how old marit was when he was born.

i cannot even begin to describe how much i love and am thankful for my dear children. BUT when i think back to the few months after graham was born when marit (like graham now) did not walk or follow commands besides "no" and still needed to be fed a lot of the time, i just remember it being crazy. God's grace sustained us through a difficult transition (you know, meningitis, stomach viruses, bedrest etc) and the little munchkins have come so far! marit has progressed so far with her hip dysplasia, she communicates very proficiently, she even says "thank you" spontaneously sometimes. graham is so close to walking and being a little toddler. he got his first bloody nose today when he fell over and face-planted. he loves his big sister and pax and cheerios. what a blessing these little people are! how much they teach me about God's Father care and loving discipline.
