Life continues on!!!! =)

Sorry, I haven't been blogging much these past few weeks, its just been a crazy time in our life and honestly, I just haven't felt like doing it.....There's really not too much to report these days, but that I finally got the ADOS testing questionnaire in the mail and sent back to Akron Children's for Colin! I'm so ready to get moving with this stuff, just to get some concrete 'Yes' or 'No' answers will be tremendous.  Regardless, of the outcome, our love for our little man will never, ever change, but the results will only help us, help him and for that I'm ready for.  He is such a cute little booger and he makes us smile everyday!!!!  The boys are doing well though and enjoying this weather, being able to be outside is awesome and so rewarding at night for Brenton and I, too.....they are exhausted and ready for bed, which gives us some adult time in the evenings.  Ethan, is continuing to grow like a weed and is stubborn as an ox (he gets that honest)!!!  That boy, is something else, but he in the same sense is an awesome little guy....such a helper, he helped Daddy last night get the outside fixed up and then came inside to help me set the table for dinner.  At the dinner table, he loves to pray and talks our ears off.....What a blessing he is and makes me smile every day.....Colin is growing too and a spit fire..... Speaking of, we had a photo session scheduled over the weekend for their 5 and 3 photo's and I was hoping for a few family ones too, just to get more bang for our buck, but let me just say "Colin" was not having it.....Not a bit, at first anyway.....We had some cute ideas for him, but he was crying, screaming, and just plain mad that we kept trying to "pose" him....Thank goodness for Brenton and the photographer, b/c I stepped outside w/ Ethan to keep him occupied and then here comes the 3 of them.....They had the bright idea to let Colin just run outside and how perfect, b/c we got to catch him in his element.....For me, as a scrapbooker, the pictures meant the world to me and more meaningful than a "posed" one (for him anyway).  I like to be able to look back on the moments in life, as they were, and forever now we'll have this moment etched in his scrapbook to look back on one day =)  We are really learning that improvising is a must and we catch ourselves, after the fact and a few deep breaths during the moment, that it actually turns out better than what we thought it would be.  Life is forever changing and for us, we are just moving/adapting right along with it.  God doesn't make mistakes and we are exactly where we are supposed to be....I pray a lot and know that things will work out, so I have to stop overwhelming myself w/ things that truly, in the end, don't matter!!!  I'm slowing doing that and wow, what a humbling part of life I am in right now and honestly folks, I'm enjoying every part of it and I have Colin to thank for that.  He's showing us so much and that little guy will forever have a special place in Mommy's heart =)

here's a few shots of our photo shoot!!!
