Soooo Behind.....

Oh my goodness..how time flies! I cannot believe that we are already at the end of March. Last week was the first day of spring....yippee! With all that being said let me apologize for being such a slacker. I had every intention of blogging over the past few months, however I clearly just didn't make the time. So let me catch you up on "The McKamie's". We had a wonderful New Year's. We went back down to the lake like last year to spend our first week in 2009 relaxing in our home away from home. Mom and dad didn't come down this year but our BFF's live a few doors down so we were definitely in good company. February flew by too. Linkoln is ever so big and running our house like nobodies business. I know every parent says that their child is so smart but I truly think that we have a baby Einstein on our hands:) Right now Linkoln loves anything he can push or pull. He loves to get his train and push it as hard as he can into a wall or a door....it literally cracks him up (me..not so much). Airplanes, trains and trucks/bus's are his favorite. His words are amazing....he is now trying to repeat everything you say. Last week Sammy and I were having Link repeat really long words like Mississippi...it was adorable to watch him try so hard to say it...I just love him. Linkoln is still in swim class and is doing good. He had his 1st bubble bath the other day...way cool! We also introduced him to the sand box a couple of weeks ago. When I first took his socks and shoes off he tired to jump back into my arms so fast. I guess the texture of the sand isn't his thing. The word "outside" gets him moving! He could play all day out doors if I'd let him. And believe me trying to get him back inside is a full temper tantrum....but we're working on it!


...Okay, so the post above was back in March and it's now the middle of April...seriously where does the time go? So what's happened lately? Really just the same stuff. Linkoln is still doing amazing. Easter was wonderful! Our Easter bunny visit didn't go as good as last year, but we have a good memory from it;)! We had the family over for lunch and all the kids played and hunted Easter eggs together. Link's favorite words right now are Computer and Einstein. Actually the phrase, "TV, Einstein...TV, Einstein" about 10x in a row is his fav.! It drives us bonkers, but it is way too cute! Linkoln finally had his surgery...praise the Lord! That truly was such a challenging time for Sammy and I but the power of Prayer and our faith pulled us through. Link did great and we are now waiting on our post-op apt next week to release us back to ALL activities. Mama's going crazy and I know my poor son has to be bored:( (3 weeks and counting)! It's always amazing to see God's work first hand. Not only did he answer our prayers for Linkoln but he pulled off a miracle with our good friends baby boy. Little Jake was born with 3 different heart problems and went into open heart surgery within the first week of his birth date. I'm not sure I have ever prayed sooo hard and as much as I did that week. As I still continue to pray for Jake, Jen and Russell, I not only pray to allow God to make him stronger, but to also praise him for all the many prayers he has answered & the love, hope and faith that he has once again placed in my heart. It feels so good to have a God that we can speak directly to anytime we please. How thankful are we that we have a God that unselfishly gave his own son to live a sinless life and die for our impurities so that we could one day enjoy heaven. Over the past month my relationship with Christ has grown by a mile. Prayer not only changes situations but it also changes people!
