Our lives and hearts have been so full for the last too many months to count that I am not even sure sure I could give a full recap of what's been going on with us. So this will be aimed toward just a summer update for now :)
Joshua finished up Preschool at the end of May and is now enrolled in a Summer Learning program at his school. He goes most Wednesdays from 9-3 which honestly has been a huge reality to me-Joshua is growing up (sob sob). I miss him so much when he's gone and so does Jonas, we mostly mope around and just snuggle until Joshua gets home at 3....who knew Joshua was the life of our party!?!?! He has been loving the summer school activities however, and doesn't miss us at all. He loves eating his lunch with his friends and they play and do tons of cool stuff. Last week he got to walk to a huge park with them, slip and slide, read stories inside of tents, and pretend to roast marshmallows by a fire.
We were planning on being on vacation this week but as is usually the case - plans had to change. Most everyone who has ever spent any time with us knows that Joshua has always had a reoccurring cough and cold that seems to pop up about once a month. We've known for a while that his adenoids were the main cause of this issue but had been told that he was not a candidate for the surgery to remove them because he had a previous cleft pallet surgery that could be compromised during the procedure. The Lord really answered our prayers and provided us with a Doctor here that is on the cleft pallet team and can do the surgery that Joshua needs!!!! We did however need to cancel our vacation plans, and have sadly decided that the fun Trip to Utah/Idaho that we'd been planning we need to wait until the fall for us to afford it.
Lucky for us though, living in Colorado we live like we are permanently on vacation. We have been to at least a half dozen Rockies games recently and just Sunday took the boys with us for a Fathers Day adventure. Josh & Joe LOVED the game and have been pretending to play Rockies baseball in the backyard ever since. It is so exciting to find something that your whole family likes and can enjoy together. We have decided to take a much shorter and closer-to-home vacation in a few weeks once Joshua has recovered from his surgery, but stay close to home incase he needs any unexpected followup. Colorado Springs is home to a Minor League team that is one of the Rockies Farm teams and is conveniently located just over an hour from home :) the Boys are already excited to go that game, which is good because they weren't thrilled to be missing seeing Uncle Rich and Aunt Sue when I told them about the change in plans.
I can honestly say that God has blessed us SOOO abundantly that it's hard to realistically be to rattled over a change in plans that are ultimately a part of His plan.
