Where You Can

My dear mother says she reads our blog, but hasn't figured out how to post a comment yet.  Help her someone is Colorado Springs!  I need some validation from my mom here. :)  (They had a raccoon family in their chimney this week.)

I've started taking some pics again and here's a little about what has been going on.

Mother's Day - Eric and I have great mothers and we love them very much.  I wish I could see my mother more often.  For Mother's Day, Zach wanted to put candles and sprinkles on the cake.  He even made up a Mother's Day song, to the tune of "Where is Thumbkin". :)

This is my mom and Avery's primary nurse, Awesome Amanda.

We've had a lot of rain lately.  When that happens, our yard forms a pond...

but this time, we had ducks!

I let Avery play with our camera at the store, and she gave it to me and said, "cheese".

                                               

                                                I was looking at all our pictures in the camera and these two are my favorite memories of Avery's hospital stay.
                                            She was SO excited to see this dog.  Bless that dog. :)

                                   Zach and Avery got so excited seeing each other.  It'd been about 2 weeks since they'd seen each other.  Very sweet.

Avery is recovering well.  She is saying more words and is proud of that. :)  Avery loves to eat salty foods.  She will lick the chips then drop it on the floor.  Progress is slow. :)  She doesn't seem to mind.  Her feeding pump and low-fat formula are not working well together.  It drives me nuts.  The only downside.  We are blessed beyond. 

Zachery is 5 and growing like a weed this spring.  Sometimes I look at him and think I don't know him, but then I can predict his every move. :)  I just want him to know how much he means to me.

You never know what life will bring.  Take the good where you can.
