Update on Andrew

I want to write what has Andrew been up to. Andrew has been really good in the past few weeks. He is eating whatever we feed him. Good news whatever we feed him is making  him heavier. His weight is now between 46 and 47 pounds. I am so happy and grateful that he is gaining something. We can not hold him as much as we did when he came here first
  This summer he loves our pools. His favorite thing to do is sucking on a floating ring :) and  to spin around really fast. When he spins it makes me smile because he has never done that before.
  He still walks and plays outside with outside toys. He loves when his sibling take him out on a bike ride or on a stroller ride.
   Tonight ofter dinner we were setting at the table and talking loud and being silly. Andrew was walking around when I picked him up and took him over to my Mom.  Andrew always had a favorite song in his mind so when Mom started to sing it to him he had the biggest smile. When Mom was done he went over to Dad and started to make alot of noises so loud that it sound like he was trying to communicate with us. I wish you could have seen him. He was so cute and he just knew what he was doing. I love seeing him so happy and I thank God and my parents for making his life so much better.

Giving Thanks for You

 Ephesians 1:16
    I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.

Thankful-that is to be your attitude toward others. Believers are challenged to look at their loved ones, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances with a spirit of gratefulness.
 Know that as you read this meditation this morning, someone is giving thanks for you for Gods work in your life and for what you mean to the people around you. You are also called to give thanks for those you know. Even if those people are difficult, you can praise God that he is teaching you through them.
 You will be amazed at how much God will bless you making your love for them and for him grow through your thankfulness.
