February

Today marks 25 days without a tonic clonic seizure from Ethan! SO happy about this.
He is still dropping lots, but we are also making diet changes so I am expecting the drops to continue for awhile. Once he is adjusted to his new meds we are praying that the drop seizures will disappear. Will you pray with us?

Also today is February 2nd. Can you believe it?

Bob and I decided that we were going to do something fun for the kids that coordinates with Valentines Day. So I have been working hard on sewing felt envelopes for the kids. (Thanks Pinterest for the Idea) This is how they turned out:


We presented them to the kids yesterday. They were very excited! "What's in them?" they wanted to know. "Lots of love," we told them.  For the month of February as a family we will put love notes (and other surprises) in the envelopes. Then each morning we can check our own envelope for mail. Isabelle's eyes lit up. "You are going to write me a note?" She asked. "Yes and you can write notes as well."


The kids were so very excited that they hard time sleeping last night. Then this morning they rushed out to see what was waiting for them. It was so fun to see them reading their notes and also to see them get excited as others read the notes they left. 

When Isabelle and Isaiah returned home from school today the first thing they wanted to do was to write some more notes to put in the envelopes. :)

Thank you Lord for a loving family. Thank you for happy memories.

Love

Picture of the day....



These two are buddies. 

Ethan has had quite a few drop seizures in the last few days.

The skin is even rubbed off of his nose from when he hit the carpet on the stairs.

Isaiah is there to pick him up, or sit with him, or get us if he has a tonic clonic seizure. 

Such a caring big brother. Even when they are wrestling (as boys do) he is still protecting.

The love between the two is evident. 

They are brothers.



There are three things that will endure 
-- faith, hope, and love -- 
and the greatest of these is love.
