Bring on the shorts!

Spring is here!!! I just want to scream it from the roof-tops!  It is so beautiful outside...almost to the point where it's almost hot!  I LOVE IT!  There is something about getting those vitamins from the sun and getting some much needed, fresh desert air!  It's so crisp and clear, it's beautiful!  Flowers are blooming, the grass is getting green, and my closet is in much need of a seasonal switch!  Instead of doing a lengthy, detailed blog, I thought I would just post a few pics and let you all know what we've been up to.  Enjoy!

Daniel is loving playing t-ball...in fact, he almost can't contain himself as he is "warming up" with his teammates...he just loves to be around other kids and have a good time, which I appreciate because all too soon are those days of fun going to be gone and transforming into pure competition...Here he is...ready to sneak around the bases!

Can you see the amount of intensity on his face!  I love this photo...it just captures his determination!

PJ and I sitting on the sidelines cheering Daniel on!

The days of 2 hour nap sessions in the afternoon are long gone.  He would take one if I made him, but that means him not being able to go to sleep until 10 at night...it's worth the trade off.  As you can see some of his quiet times get a little too quiet!

PJ still isn't eating much baby food yet.  He seems to be fine on formula alone, but after last night and waking up a couple times, I am going to try and be consistant with it.  He loves baby oatmeal so I thought I would introduce something new...peas!  The photo below shows his initial reaction to the peas and then the next photo captures around his 4th or 5th bite...those taste buds must have finally kicked in!

I discovered we have wisteria growing crazy in our backyard.  We have had wisteria since we've moved in on our side gate, but this is the first year it's bloomed in the back.  It's so beautiful.  I tried to capture it like my talented sister-in-law would, but I can't even come close...this is as good as it's going to get folks!

PJ's bladder medicine has been doubled so we have to be careful.  One of the side effects is overheating and dehydration.  I have noticed his cheeks becoming rosey more often as you can see in this picture.  Not a fun side effect but we are trying to keep it at bay with sips of water between meals.

Other than getting the yard in order, spring cleaning, watching t-ball and our trips to San Fran, we have been having a wonderful spring.  God has been so wonderful and we have been so blessed by many friends, family, and church family.  They are such a blessing to us and we are so thankful to have them all in our lives. Last week we returned to San Fran to make sure PJ's hip is still in and also for the cast to be checked.  His hip is still in!!  Praise God!  Dr. Delgado said that PJ can get his cast off in 4 weeks, which by Friday it will be 3 more weeks! yay!  We are so glad that it is going by quickly!  It was a little frustrating in the fact that we drove 6 hours each way to have a 25 minute appt, but we are thankful for the great news!  We are still waiting to hear from Social Security to see if PJ can get some assistance as well has a medicaid program for disabled children.  We are waiting and praying that he would get approved for one, if not both of those...it would help us out tremedously!  God knows what will happen so we rest in that fact and know that no matter what happens, IT IS FINISHED!
