Nate's Language

As most of you know, our Nate is significantly speech delayed. However, this special little guy has his way of communicating. Times can be quite frustrating for him, but he uses sign language to let us know his wants and needs. Recently quite a few of Nate's signs have been turning into verbal words, and we are so proud of him. I love to hear him say Mom.....finally. I snapped this pic of Nate today when he was signing the word, "water" to me. I love this picture of him. As he was signing he was saying the word "water", while he walked across hundreds of rocks, excited to throw them in the river. Nate is hard to describe because he is so unique.....you have to experience him. I love him so much.

A Mommy who loves her boys.....

I thank the LORD for making me the mother of these two precious boys. I pray daily that God will give me the strength and wisdom to be the kind of Mom that God wants me to be.

Me and My Boys

I love being a mommy to these two guys. There are joys and there are challenges and I love all of it. It is such a blessing and a responsibility to raise these precious lives. I pray everyday for God to give me the strength, wisdom, and the overall ability to be the best mother I can be to Noah and Nate. I'm not a perfect mom, quite flawed actually, but I love my sons beyond anything that words can describe. I am able to love, because God first loved me.....how beautiful is that?

Believe it or Not.....it was Hot Today!

Believe it or not, our thermometer read 80 degrees today. So of course we had to "fill" up the infamous puddle for our two little nature boys. Rocks, mud, water.....what else do you need. I hope you enjoy the following pictures of two little boys having a great time, doing what they do best......getting filthy dirty! I love it!
