The Boys

The boys continue to grow everyday in everyway. Owen is starting to talk and he is a bundle of energy and fun.  He is following in his brother’s footsteps and loves to play with trains and read books.  As a matter of fact “train” and “Thomas” were two of his first words!  He is beginning to run and loves to play chase with Jack.  Thankfully our home is roomy enough for them to get this energy out without being underfoot!

Jack is also such a fun little boy, full of expression and very articulate.  He loves learning and just recently has been asking to hear stories about our own childhoods or the story of his birth, and he often asks, “What happened to God?”  He has an amazing memory, especially with music and songs.  I think he’s going to be a lot like his daddy, more than just being the spitting image of him!  About 3 weeks ago, we began to see a change for the better with his digestive problems and for about 2 weeks, his “D” issue seemed to be going away, but then for the past 4 days or so, it has come back with a vengeance.  It’s hard not to get our hopes up when we see improvement and then to not be disappointed when the change doesn’t last.  For now, we are in a holding pattern to see what will happen next.  Thank you for all the prayers you have prayed for our little guy!  I know so many of you have felt this burden with us and we are so thankful.  We even have a little friend, Noah, who is 9 and he prays for Jack every day.   We are so humbled by that!
