We're Free!

It actually happened about a week ago. I woke up and decided that I had had enough. We were going to live our lives like normal human beings and join society again...as a family. I was so fed up with house arrest that I threatened to let the boys go play in the balls at McDonalds....then go visit the sick people in the hospital.....then go to Wal-Mart and lick the handles on all the carts.

But instead we went to church :)

It's nice. It's nice to go places as a family. It's nice to share my boys with the world. It's nice to not live in fear. It's nice to enter a restaurant instead of eating in the car.

It's funny...we got a lot of comments the past six months. Some who agreed with what we were doing, some who thought we were paranoid and overprotective, and some who thought we weren't careful enough. But it doesn't matter. We did the best we could for Eli and Landon and we were blessed with good health through the winter and for that I am so thankful.

Here are some pictures from the boys' first day in Bible class.

This is their best friend, Noah. He is just three months older than Eli and Landon and such a sweetie! I can only imagine the trouble these three will get into together!
And that's the puzzle that Eli and Landon just finished together...they are pretty advanced :)


This is how cooperative they were being today

Here are some feeding pictures. Don't they look excited to be eating peas?

These videos are of the boys right when they wake up from their nap. I just love going in there to get them!

Eli and Landon turn six months old tomorrow! It's their half-birthday - how unbelievable is that? But...I'll save it for another post tomorrow!
