Stuck on you like glue

  
 

There's just something about these boys! Eli wants to be near Joel constantly and Joel wants to watch Eli wherever he goes! We are starting to imagine the trouble we will be in when they hit the teenage years together and gang up on us! 

Did you happen to notice the photo of our "little mermaid?" In a rush to head out the door, I put both of Eli's legs in one leg of his pants!!

Eli is completely healed from the tube surgery. His ears are clear- no infections or fluid. He has been found eligible to receive speech therapy twice a month. We are looking forward to working with his therapist to see more communication. Once he does start talking, I'm sure we will be thinking, "OK, you can stop now!!" 

Joel weighs in at 16.12 pounds & 25 1/2 inches at his last appointment. Teeth should be making an appearance any time now, since the drooling, fussing and hard gums has begun. Fun times!

Randy is steady at work on his dissertation. He is graduating in June and the pressure is on! Fernando has been spending the weekdays at Grandma & Pap's and the weekends with us. He is spoiled rotten with love & attention and enjoys an hour long evening walk every day- lucky dog! As for me....well, this week is my second grade musical, so things are a bit stressful, but when all is said and done, it will be great! Breathe in, breathe out...

Oh so very cute!! I can't believe Joel has grown so much, actually I can. I'm so happy Eli's tubes are working out great and he got the speech help approved. My nephews both have done speech and it helps so much.

We need to get together very soon!!!!

Treasure these times - your family is blessed and is a blessing. Your boys are great and it is so wonderful to see them bonding like this. Can't wait to see you all. Good luck on School work Randy. Your concert will be great Ma. Praying for you all.
