For the Grannies...

I confess, one of my FAVORITE times with Isaac (at this age)
is when he's sound asleep. There's still just a hint of
my baby, then, and I can snuggle and smooch him all I want.
When he's awake, he's just not still long enough for me to do
any of that. BUT...these shots are for his grandmothers
who have been missing him pretty bad. He fills up the
blue chair now with his long legs. He's growing like a weed!
He TOTALLY kegged out this afternoon after a hot
shower and a pb&j...it was lovely and quiet and still.
I'm so thankful for his healthy body and heart
SO I'll take all the loud, rowdy days he wants
to dish out because we're not lying in the hospital
with his little heart beating out scary rhythms like Stellan.
Pray....

Cozy Couch - The Cuddle Spot

Okay...my guys are STILL camped out on the couch...STILL.
Eli was sick off and on the last two weeks of school
and since school let out, he's been on the couch.
He's got his dad's blanket that Oma made and all
of his techno devices (mp3 player, PSP, laptop, AND A BOOK!)
but he STILL is dealing with feelin' PUNK!
TV restrictions have been lifted in light of illness so
we're trying to trudge through but it still isn't a
whole lot of fun.

We've got new antibiotics. The doc says
that we have bad luck and not some immune disorder.
(Whew...cuz I was really starting to wonder...)
Big E's appetite is SHOT. He doesn't want to eat
and he coughs every 2.4 seconds deep in his lungs
and frankly, I feel like I'm being tortured slowly with
that sound. It must be awful to have to listen to it
and do it. He does NOT have pneumonia. We checked that.

Isaac's got a touch of "couch fever" and isn't
enjoying Eli's convalescence because it
jacks with their playing habits. So...
my little dude makes due hanging out
on the couch near his beloved, big brother.
(Eli is not currently contagious...)

Yes, Isaac is totally playing possum in the large
collage shot but in the others, the cozy
affection is most genuine as I snuck up
on the little buggers
(If you're English, I apologize for my profanity).

Prayers are much appreciated...thanks!

Showcase

Nope...can't do it. Can't copy-cat this.
Just have to show it off.
I LOVE this Lisa!
It's so poignant to me because
there are many times
in the big, scary, grown-up world
where children are the only ones
to hold enough light to generate any
of God's beautiful color.
