Hello friends and fam!! I haven’t written anything in a long time, and not because of lack of things going on…. trust me. More like, lack of time. Anyway… Alot has happened in the past few weeks. We have had a pool party with Blue Sushi, family reunions, bible studies, church, school, doctors appointments, surgeries, family emergencies, and soo much more! Our lives are truly full! But honestly, I don’t think that Heidi, nor I would really have it any other way.
The twins are so much fun!! They will be a year in July!!! Ethan loves them and they love him. It is so funny how they play together. Ethan has gotten much more verbal. Just an example, I saw a friend of mine at church that I haven’t seen in a while, Ethan looks up at her and said, “I am Ethan ‘Tator’ James and I am soo cute!” I died laughing!! It was sooo funny. That isn’t even the end of it, after everyone stopped laughing he looked up at me with a smlie and said, “mama, I am funny!” He truly is! He makes up some of the funniest stuff! I wish I had a recorder for all of the times he says something like that on spur of the moment.

Before we know it the girls are going to be talking and…WALKING!!! Angela is on her way. She is pulling away from what she is holding on to and trying to stand with no hands. WOW!! When I stop to think about it for a minute, it’s amazing to think how fast time has gone by. It was only a few short months ago that, the girls were little preemies hardly even opening their eyes and, now they are almost a year old crawling, laughing, and playing!! It only proves the fact that we need to enjoy our kids every second that we have with them.
As far as the family emergency that I mentioned, My grandmother was put in the hospital for a heart surgery about a week ago. It was a close call, they found the problem just in time. It turned out that she had an anurism, a birth defect (that we didnt know about), and her main valve was not functioning correctly. But I am glad to say that she is doing great. Only a week later at the age of 75 she is now getting out of her bed by herself and using the bathroom on her own! She is such a trooper! We are glad that she is still with us and determined to live the rest of her life with the same amount of strength and passion that she always has! Also, just a note: Heidi has told me that her grandmother will be having back surgery soon, so please keep her in your prayers.
One more thing… Ethan had his tonsils and adenoid surgery on Mon and he is recovering very well! It has been tough for the both of us but he is going to be feeling much better by the weekend!! … I can’t wait!!!
I love you guys and I hope that you have a wonderful week!
