Thank God for Family

The past two days seem to have been very trying and overwhelming! I find myself very overwhelmed with eveyrthing going on and everything that has to be done. Then I sit back and look at my family and I AM SOO BLESSED!!! Eli is adjusting very well and we have noticed a huge improvement in his listening, obeying, and all around communication skills. He has become very responsible and grown up so much in the past 5 days. He also has a lot of energy which has not been easy but we are working hard at finding outlets to release that. He helped Anthony shovel the foot of snow yesterday that we got. He LOVED being outside doing that. It also burned a lot of energy for him.

Thank God for extended family. Yesterday we needed a few things and Anthony's mom graciously drove and got them. We thought she had gone to work but did not and felt bad because she made a special trip but were so blessed. I also forgot to mention that Eli went bowling on Sat like he usually does only this time they let him actually bowl. Usually he just goes and watches. HE IS IN LOVE!! Aunt Toni took pictures and I need to get them. She has been such a blessing getting him and taking him. He loves going to her house to see her and "THE KIDS!!" We are hoping to take him for his birthday next week depending on how I feel and Anthony's work schedule.

Thank God for Church Family......We have been receiving meals every night from our church family. It has been such a blessing not to have to think about food. I don't even think I probably would have felt like cooking until today. We truly are such a blessed family and I can not wait to see how God has blessed us with this little girl.

Lilliana is yet to start any sort of schedule we had two good nights of sleep and then last night that went downhill. I was up with her all night. She is such a sweety and soo different that Eli when it comes to nursing so I am dealing with some issues there but we are working through them. She is already back to her birth weight as of today so doing great!! Hopefully in the next couple of days I will be up to doing her newborn pictures. I have been wanting to do them but KNOW I NEED TO REST so I am!! In fact Eli is gone to see family again tonight so I am off to bed to sleep while I can!
