MY DAD!!!!!

I have not really said much about my father's illness, but I am soooo excited today that I thought I would post about how good he is progressing.
I went to visit him on Saturday by myself and he wanted to talk to my mom on the phone. And she asked if he was doing ok and with WORDS he answered yeah and then said hey a couple of times.
On Monday about nine of us went at the same time and he was doing so good and as I was doing some exercises with his left hand(the side that has been affected) he pushed a little against my hand. He was so in love with Britni that day, but did give everyone their own hugs and even tried to goose my mom :)

Last night Zachary was there and he got him to play catch with him and even wanted to put the ball in his left hand.

Today I just received a text telling us that Dad got a REAL shower and also got to eat a few bites of applesauce. He passed his swallowing test and doing really well.

This is such great news and we are all so excited. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. We all know it is still a long road but this is so huge for him. I bet the applesauce tasted like heaven.

Kitchen Remodel!!!!!!!!

So Twinkle re-did her kitchen and I loved it so much that I wanted to do my ugly out dated kitchen. So she showed me the ropes and provided me with some of her old supplies. It has been a long drawn out process. It took me a good three months, and I was always discouraged and thought that it wasn't worth it. But now that they are up I am soo excited and it isn't completely done yet but it looks way different.
Now on to the next room!!!

Update!!

So I just wanted to post some pictures of the last couple of weeks. Some are from Christmas. We had a wonderful day with both of our families and our kids were so excited for Santa to come. Eternity left him cookies the night before and was sooo excited to see that he had eaten some when she woke up.
Reign was more excited than I thought he would be.So smart that kid... Just kidding!
The rest of the pics are from Soakais 2nd birthday party.
Thanks for having us over and Maizi enjoyed his presents a lot more than he did.






Notice Eternity's poor little eye. She scratched it with a rubber band!
