Picture Time 2 of 4 - Eli and Sis Posing

What's he singing, you ask? "The Marriage of Figaro." Both kids are non-stop singers. Sophia is all about the "Hannah Montana." When singing along, she never misses an "Oooh," "C'mon," or "Yeah." We're looking for an agent. Seriously.


We need a modeling agent as well. No, not for me. But thanks!


Look at that stare... so judgmental. Elijah is usually much more tolerant of a botched photo op, but at the end of the day, he's a professional. Don't get on his bad side, that's all I'm saying.


Big Sis. I know a lot of you worry about what Sophia's going through, and we appreciate your prayers on her behalf, but you've got to know that she's loving life these days. Nothing stops her positive attitude, and a camera lens seems to kick it up a notch. BAM!


Awww...

Is God Listening? I Believe He Is...

Elijah's feet will be amputated tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. Central. Tonight, both sets of grandparents are at their hotels, and so is Melissa and my sweet daughter Sophia. It's just me and Eli in the hospital room, watching TV and trying to settle down after a long day of blood draws, x-rays, measurements and several dozen forms to read and sign. Everybody keeps asking me how I'm doing tonight, because they can see something dark in my eyes. I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm somewhere between moderately jovial and barely coherent. And let's face it -- I've made it my personal mission in life to be the one who reassures everyone else, who always sees the silver lining and the ultimate goal. So when you hear me admit that I'm making the people around me sad, it's doubly upsetting, because I'm usually the person you go to when you feel sad. About ten minutes ago, I finished pouring some food into Elijah's tummy via his G-tube. After I removed the ...

16 Steps To Victory

Dad reporting in, late at night (11:27 p.m.): Not a creature was stirring, until from the baby monitor there arose such a clatter, Elijah sitting up in his crib talking to himself at the top of his lungs. Seriously, a conversation complete with questions, answers, exclamations and thoughtful responses (i.e. "Hmm! Yeah!") I just had to get him out of bed and play with him, and also give him some more to eat. On the way upstairs, he asked me to put him on the floor of the foyer. Before I knew what was happening, he had climbed the first three steps of the flight leading to our second floor. These first steps curve and each have about twice the surface area of the other steps, so when he got to the first proper stair, I thought he might slow down or ask me to pick him up. Instead, he bore down on the step and said, "I'm climbing, Daddy!" And climb he did. One step, then the next, and although I had a hand hovering behind him the whole way, I never once had to use i...
