For the Ducks

On a pretty, but a little chilly day in early spring, we headed downtown to the park. Actually Chris helped a friend who move out of their house and I randomly took the boys to Monkey Joes with some free passes while he was doing that and THEN we went downtown. It was a long but really fun filled day.

In between a picnic and walking all the way from Falls Park to Century Park( and Cort walked the whole way!!), we stopped to check out the ducks and feed them a few scraps from our sandwiches. This was the first time Cohen really got into it. He just loved it. He doesn't have much of a throw on him yet so he was a bit of a tease to the ducks, but he enjoyed it just the same! The ducks also gave Cort a good incentive for the long walk because he pretended to be chasing a lost duck all the way down the river until we got to our destination!!

I love family days like this!!

If it's your first time...

Welcome to our blog, take a look around. What you see is just a typical family trying our best to enjoy all the blessings God has given us in the midst of everyday life! Two of our favorite little blessings will fill most of the posts of this blog, our 4 year old first born, Cort, and our almost 2 year old, 2nd born, Cohen. Cohen was diagnosed with a fatal form of dwarfism at our 20 week ultrasound and we were told he had no chance of living more than a few minutes to hours at birth. He is a true miracle, a daily reminder of God's power and glory. Pull up a chair, enjoy the ride...we are!!
