Life with children provides a a roller coaster of emotions - joy, laughter, heartache, worry, anger, bewilderment, fear, amazement, love - and the list could go on. For the past few months I've tried hard not to worry or fear about Campbell and the spot on his head, but have failed miserably most of the time. Consumed at moments with the what-ifs and unknowns of it all. However, the biopsy went great last Tuesday. Camp was an absolute trooper....early morning, no breakfast, poked, prodded, put to sleep, and two stitches to boot. I just called to get the results and found out it's not anything harmful or serious. Praise Jesus! It's just an hemangioma, which is a benign overgrowth of blood vessels, and are rather common and will go away over time. Thank you for all your prayers!Other than that, Campbell is doing great! He is growing fast and on the move! For several weeks Campbell has been sitting up, but not for long periods of time. I kept thinking he should be sitting up fine now, until it occurred to me that he CAN sit, he is just always in pursuit of something he wants! This kid is already scooting on his hands and knees towards toys he sees or trying to keep up with Austin! I guess with him we'll be bypassing that sit-in-one-place-and-play stage. :)
Austin is growing up, too! I'm amazed more and more by him everyday...things he remembers, things he says, things he knows, things he does! And while many of them require discipline, it's still pretty neat to see his mind working. :) Just this morning I heard something going on with Levi's food dish (which he knows is off limits), and when I walked in the kitchen, there Austin sat vigorously stirring dog food in Levi's water bowl with a straw from his juice box. When I asked him what he was doing he said, "making pancakes for Levi!"
As far as the rest of our life goes, we are enjoying the time we are haivng with friends and family we don't see regularly...in fact, we've either been out of town or had folks in town every single weekend since May! It's been busy and hectic at times, but we're making memories! I'll hopefully post some more pics soon of all we've been up to.
Sorry for the long post....you know how it is here on our blog - feast or famine!
