I am always thinking of things to write about. God is continually teaching me lessons and my intention is always to write them down, but I never quite get to it. I'm going to TRY (famous last words!) to get better at this. I honestly don't care if anyone reads this blog...it's just for my own benefit. I really enjoy going back and refreshing my memory on what God has taught me and what he has done. Plus, it's nice to keep a record for the kids if they ever want to take a walk back in time!
So, the last time I wrote was Jordan's third birthday. A lot has happened since then. It's been quite a time. I had back surgery on January 14th which has been a challenge to just do normal life and has also buried us (officially) in medical debt. I am much better but still experiencing quite a bit of pain. Physical therapy has been a blessing but I still feel quite a ways from "normal".
Marcus is huge and Jordan is still Jordan! He really is starting to love on Marcus which of course makes Marcus' day. We are moving in the next couple of months and I am still trying to decide on whether to put them in the same room or keep them separate. I would love for them to be in the same room eventually, but neither of them are sleeping through the night enough to make it an easy transition. I still have some time...
We are getting close to an official diagnosis for Jordan of Sensory Processing Disorder. It's been a rough road, but knowing what it is makes it easier for me to be patient with him. He is brilliantly smart and has an incredible personality, but just cannot keep himself under control when he is with other kids. It's constant biting, hitting, and pushing (and me apologizing). On top of that, he is a big distraction when he is in his classes at church. It's hard but I know that recognizing it and helping him early will be the best way to help him and with God's help, he should be fine. I look forward to what God is going to do with his precious life!
So, that's where we are. Moving, but not sure where. On the verge of intervention with Jordan's SPD. Constant back pain. Graduate school. Grammy and Pappa headed home soon. Abby getting married. Plus all kinds of other things going on. But God's my constant and is my ever-present help!
