"Hey, look that says book!"

Hallelujah... He can see! We've known for a while that Luke really can't see. Little hints like standing directly in front of the T.V. Saying 'I can't see' all the time. His pre-school teacher telling me he can't see. Trying to wear my glasses to watch movies. Last Sunday he had his primary program and his teacher kept trying to point him to where we were so he could see us. And we even scooted up towards the front of the chapel that week. So you get the picture, anyone around him for more than a minute knew he couldn't see. We took him to the eye Dr. in January, he said Luke was fine and not to worry... well I knew that wasn't the case, so I took him to a new Dr. this last week, he did great with Luke, and Luke was so excited to look in the binoculars, he did a really good job. He got to pick out his glasses, and he was really excited to wear them. On our way home from picking up his glasses Luke was looking out the window, there was a big sign that said Seagull Book, and Luke could see Book. He's so happy that he can see. He keeps telling me 'I can see that' , pointing to something.

home sweet home

Here's the house. We love the ward, the neighbors, and the location. We are at the end of the road and so not much traffic comes by. We don't have any backyard neighbors, just wetlands and goats. It will probably be a while before I post any indoor pictures, I'm still in the process of getting things where I want them.

Grandma Dawson got the kids new church clothes. They all liked their outfits, but Abigail LOVED hers. Anything girlie makes her happy.

Like these roses she picked from our yard. She also LOVED the roses. She called them her babies. Then when she was done playing with them, she picked all the petals and scattered them around the living room.

one year pictures

I asked Eli to take some pictures of Carly for her birthday. I love them all, but these two are probably my favorite. She loved getting her pictures done and smiled the whole time.
