Check up and Everlasting love!

Michael took Lani to her 5 month check up on Friday! She got 2 shots and was given a clean bill of health. She weighed 17 pounds 12 ounces (90th %ile) and she is 25 inches long. She has grown 2 inches from her last appointment and has gained 2 pounds! Dr. Fox asked if she was rolling over yet! When Michael told her “almost” she replied “that’s fine because it usually take BIGGER babies a little longer” Geesh…poor Lani! She’s been labeled as the “bigger girl”.

Everlasting Love

My Grandparents live in Illinois and are in their 70’s. They have always been a huge part of my life and it is sooo hard having them so far away. I received their christmas card and letter in the mail today. The letters are so sweet and usually consist of telling me how adorable my kids are, the weather out there, and how their health is! My grandfather has diabetes which has caused cataracts, poor circulation in his feet, and other problems that come along with this disease. My grandmother is reasonably healthy except that she now has to wear hearing aids!
This letter stated that she can’t wear her hearing aids for a few weeks while waiting for something to clear up in her ear. She goes on to say something so sweet and it shows how true love is everlasting! She wrote “Grandpa is now my ears and I am his eyes”. They are everything to each other and I am so thankful that they can still be together in their own home and still love and take care of each other! I think that is something that we can all strive for in our marriages!
