Sorry for the long pause in posts. Things have been crazy around here lately!
So, first, an update on the family members who we are praying for. My step-dad, Billy, is doing great. We've been able to see him the past two weekends as he and my mom were in Dallas visiting Macee and his mouth looks great. You can't even tell he had all those stitches! Macee is doing much better. She's still recovering after her surgery for her broken pelvis. She's at a great facility here in Dallas, so we've been lucky to have Nana B and Grandpa Billy here for the past two weekends. Hopefully she'll get to go home to Lubbock soon to continue her recovery. Reese's father is home and is doing much better. I know he was anxious to get home so he could oversee the redecorating going on at their house! We can't wait to see the final results Grammy and Gramps!
Two weekends ago my brother, Dustin, and his wife Sarah brought their kids to visit for the weekend. Carter and Kate were so much fun to hang out with. We went to ride the carousel at the Frisco mall, went to Going Bonkers (an indoor play facility), had some nice pictures taken, and had lots of fun playing. I know Anderson wishes his cousins lived closer so he could see them more often! Here are a few pics from the fun weekend:

Mother's Day was great around here. My mom was in town so it was nice to share the day with her before she had to leave town. Reese gave me a book, a sweet card, and a promise of fresh chocolate covered strawberries next time we go to the mall and walk past the gourmet chocolate shop. (I always stop to look at them and say how yummy they look!) Of course, my sweetest gift of all was hugging and kissing my Little Buddy. I thank God everyday for bringing him to me and making me a mother.

This past weekend Anderson was under the weather so we spent most of the time at home. He had an awful sore throat and fever so it was very hard to see him in pain. His appetite (or ability to swallow) is bouncing back finally. Poor guy! He was not a happy camper.
So, Anderson is walking now. He's still in that "wobbly drunken" state, though. It's really funny to see him trying to gain control over those legs and keep it all in sync with the rest of himself. He still actually seems to prefer crawling when he wants to get somewhere, though.
Crawling is a mastered skill, so faster than walking. Once he's stable, he'll rarely crawl again (though it's cute when they "regress" and you can pretend they're little babies again). Glad he's feeling better!
