We're back

So I thought I would share this picture with you because this is what it is like to try to get a toddler to cooperate with a quick family picture! Dad sure was ready to go, but boy...

Also...Joshua is feeling much better! Thanks for all the prayers and concern! We really appreciate them. The only thing is his appetite hasn't come back full force yet.. So yeah, pray for my sanity in that area! I am such a stresser when it comes to his eating! Apparently he's doing just fine.. .he weighs 29/30 pounds! YAY!!! We discovered that after the various trips to the doctor last weekend. We also aren't mad at the entire covenant hospital, just the children's ER, but we have a peace now, and our baby is healthy, just he will no longer be treated in the ER. We are staying with our current ped. right now. Just praying about God's direction because she knows everything about Joshua. All the problems he had when he was a newborn, and he knows her, and so we want God to guide and direct if we do switch. For right now, we are staying with her. We have given potty training a rest. Joshua showed no real interest in it, so I will be trying again during my Christmas Break! Wish me luck! I am doing it then because I will have about 4-5 wks dedicated to just me and Joshua and developing a schedule of going potty and everything! I know some of you have asked how it was going.
