fun again

as we continue to climb out of the past few months, i realize there have been great strides made. despite the sickness, and exhaustion there have been sweet moments that continue to stand out in my mind.

like watching isaiah take off on his 2nd try on a two wheeler. he has mastered it since, and does it all on his own.

like despite my previous speculations, alaythia WILL NOT be walking down the aisle in a diaper. i heard it was possible but never believed it was true - that one day a child will wake up and decide to do it. i can give testimony to it's validity now. you KNOW i never would have attempted it in the state we've been in.

like sophia not absolutely hating her car seat. it's not her favorite, but we can actually take her places in it.

we made a trip to costco the other day. sophia didn't scream on our way there. alaythia used the potty with no issues, isaiah was a happy, helpful big boy. on the way home, the music going, the kids singing along, the sun warming our skin through the window, matt looked over at me and said, 'is it possible life is getting fun again?'

i think so.

Natalie, I am so happy for you and Matt. And it's so great to know that little Sophia is out of pain. She is beautiful and precious, just like all your children.
Love, Aunt Sandi :)
