Pool time fun

So, the Coscto pool has been a big hit this summer. Matt has gotten to the point he leaps from the little ladder with his life jacket on and just plunges under and comes up grinning. With Matt's inspiration, Esther is starting to put her face in the water. We are staying home most days and just trying to keep life simple and establish routines...so this pool has made for great afternoon fun. Everyone is sleeping and napping pretty well now!!! Yippee!! We head off for our first camping trip this upcoming weekend. Matt will get to experience some mountain air and smores...a must in our family:O) He is really doing so well. He is eating well, gaining much better large motor control with all the new things he is trying, and probably has about a 30 word vocab in English now...and like any 3 year old...has me read Go Dog Go at least 3-4 times per day:O) He and Essie are starting to get used to each other...Matt usually hunts her down in the morning to wake her up...and when she wakes up enough...she often has a sweet little hug for him. The other kids get a real kick out of both of them and have been really big helpers too! Our lives have radically changed...Rob and I are both pretty tuckered most of the time...don't have too many moments to ourselves...but we feel blessed beyond compare...we praise His name and thank you all for your prayers and continued love and support!!
