My Ebenezer

Well, yesterday Mathew took his first steps. That is, unless my mother lied to me and he actually took those steps when she was keeping him the other day. Which is entirely possible. It was adorable the way his whole face lit up and he was just soooo proud of himself. Only two steps after that and so far no more. I”m not encouraging it because my world will be turned upside down when he starts really walking. He is SOOOOOO fast. If you’ve been around from the beginning you will appreciate that the title ‘Carter’ has been officially passed down to Mathew.

He’ll soon turn 1 and I am continually astonished at how quickly time goes by. The moments we have with our children are so precious and so few and pass in an instant. I try to remind myself of that as the end of school is approaching (3 more days).

Carter and Gracey are the best of friends and enjoy playing with one another constantly. As Carter continues to mature he is sweeter and sweeter with Gracey, trying to keep her from getting in trouble (when he’s not encouraging her to get in trouble, anyway). He is very tender hearted and almost always asks me to give her a second chance when she has to go to time out.

And Praise God Gracey has been behaving more and more like my sweet little princess. I hope this is a trend that will continue! She still has a bad case of the whines but I supposed that it typical for a little girl – I can deal with the whining since she has been doing such a good job listening and following directions.

Life is good.
