A Few Milestones

So the last few weeks have been quite full for our family. Not just because of our move but also because of a few major milestones that have been passed by our little boys. A few weeks ago Cedric took his first steps and since then has been practicing very hard to improve in his newfound skill. Below is a video from a couple weeks ago when he was trying to get things figured out. Since then he has improved quite a bit and now travels all over the place without falling over! Crazy how quickly they catch on once they figure out the basic steps. Here he is strutting his stuff:

Ben has also passed his own milestone recently. I'll not explain it in words but rather let you see for yourself... enjoy!

We are so proud of both our boys!

A Little Update

For those of you wondering, we've moved into our new home and have begun the whole settling in process. Nearly all boxes are unpacked and we're in the middle of arranging and putting things away. It seems a little daunting at times but we've made a lot of progress and feel as though this house suites us very well. The kids are adjusting wonderfully and in recent days have enjoyed our acre of land to run, play, and dig. Ben has discovered the fun of pulling Cedric in a wagon and does it much of the time spent outside. Cedric does not yet like the feel of grass so is quite content sitting in the wagon as long as Ben is around to pull it! We have been thoroughly enjoying the amazing views from our house particularly at night when the landscaped lights of the city twinkle into our windows. We have a lot of work to do this summer with fencing, landscaping, and and building a deck, but we are looking forward to the tasks ahead of us and already feel "at home". I am continuously blown away by how utterly gracious and generous God is.
