Bites and a spoon!!!!

I have sat down several times to write, and I did not have the words.  I was having a rough week last week.  I sat here and wondered why I was even writing, if anyone even cared.  You know self pity and all that stuff that comes with the lows.  Our schedule is so hectic, our lives still so much isolated, that it takes a toll.  I had not been feeling well, and it felt like one blow after another.

God has been good to encourage me.  I have tried hard to focus on the needs of others.  I have been working on being quick to forgive, and extending grace.  I am thankful for two very dear friends taking time to talk with me. 

We have a huge praise.  It may seem small, but it is big for us.  Yesterday we went out to eat (that's not the praise).  We went to a self serve frozen yogurt place for dessert.  Nathan was having a blast just running all over.  He came up to Shawn and started yelling and "asking" for a bite.  HE ATE OFF SHAWN'S SPOON. . . then mine, then Isaac's.  This is huge! 

He is just starting to put a spoon by his mouth. . . sometimes, and only if he is holding it.  Nathan will not let us feed him. 

Isaac was so excited and cheering for Nathan as he ate bites.  It was a doubly cute moment watching Isaac feed Nathan.

Tonight he actually ate 5 goldfish crackers and part of a Ritz cracker!

Thank you for your prayers.  Please continue to pray for Nathan to eat.

I will also share some fun fall pictures!!!
