June News

I just realized I haven't written in about 2 months, so here is a quick update. We have been busy busy busy lately, ever since about 3 weeks ago when we suddenly became crazy-in-the-head and decided to buy a new house in the same neighborhood! So, 3 weeks later, we have now spent countless hours getting our house ready to sell while watching the new house being built. We'll have a bit more room inside and a lot more room outside in the new house, and we'll be even closer to Nanny and Papa. So we are very excited about this adventure -- our first *new* house...slated to be finished mid-August.


We have moved so much stuff out of our house that I no longer have access to the computer where I keep all our pictures. But we have been posting some on Facebook, so hopefully anyone who reads this blog can check those on my or Phillip's profiles.

Landon is at a really fun stage now. He is imitating everything we do and he very clearly understands most things we say. He seems to be learning a lot at daycare too - his current room has a lot more structure than his previous rooms did. When I drop him off at different times they are learning signs, having story time, having dance time, doing messy art, playing outside, etc. They even sleep on little cots now instead of cribs, so they are definitely growing up! And it's just precious to watch them eat snacks at their little tables, sitting on their little chairs. No more high chairs at school!


I know I say it a lot, but we are so blessed to have such a good, fun, happy kid. He generally follows directions and listens when we say 'no' (although he throws his share of tantrums when he doesn't want to hear no...). And he is developing a great sense of humor - just playing little jokes on us like acting like he is going to give a kiss and then psych!, no kiss. He loves to rough-house and has no fear in general...definitely did not get that from his mama.

I do have one prayer request - we've been fighting ear infections since January and we have an appt with the ENT doc in a week or so. He's currently on his 3rd consecutive round of antibiotics and none seem to be working. During the last round he went from a single to a double ear infection. So I just ask for prayers that the ENT can help him heal and that his hearing has not been affected by this (that's his ped's main concern right now). Again, we have been very blessed because he doesn't seem bothered by the ear infections, so I know he has some divine protection keeping him feeling fine. But I'm sure we'll have to have tubes unless we receive a miracle between now and then, which I will never rule out! Thank you for any prayers you can send up on Landon's behalf.
