Cardboard Smiles
Saturday daddy went to go wake up Eli as he often does. He goes in his room and says his name and Eli squirms and stretches and then curls up into a tight ball. Then he picks him up and they usually play for about 5 minutes before Eli starts to eat. Well last Saturday when daddy brought Eli into our room and put him on his lap Eli sat there and looked at daddy and gave him the biggest gummy grin!! It was so precious and AJ was so excited, it truly melted his heart like wax near heat. Eli hasn't really smiled since then but at least now we know he has the ability, he is just very picky to when he decides to use that ability. I know he will only begin to smile more and more and very soon he will be smiling everyday. I will try to catch one of these adorable expressions with the camera so I can post it on the site.
Our house is full of cardboard boxes and plastic bins. Most all of our belongings are now carefully stacked in a box inside our dining room and our family room. Even most of our furniture now resides in these 2 rooms. We are ready to go. Today is AJ's last day at work. Then tomorrow starts the busy-ness of the big move through five states and down into sunny and warm Miami, FL. It has been in the low forties at night and the sixties during the day- it is already too cold for me! I am welcoming the warmth we'll find down in Miami.
So, this will be the last post till we can get our internet hooked up again. Hopefully that won't be more then a week from now. So please continue to check back to the site for what is new with our family, don't be discouraged when there is no new info for a few days. We appreciate everyone who stays current on our lives through our website. Also, shoot us an email, or post a comment, and let us know what is new with you guys and how we can be praying for you guys better.
God bless. See you again from Miami!!!
