Mr. Ma-who.

Oh Lans, I am so grateful for you.  This week has brought so many good things for your little family.  And it is mostly due to your hard work and love.   

These sweet boys are growing sweeter by the moment.  When you passed away and a little before Matthew was just struggling. . . biting, fits, crying, hitting, etc.  At one point I had suggested to Ben that he should try my gym for a little daddy time.  While Ben was touring the place, Matthew bit two or three kids and was suspended from the gym for two weeks.  Ugg. . talk about your all time back fire. Ben looked so defeated and overwhelmed as he tried his hand at single parenting.   

I think a lot of it was Matthews age, maybe it was that life for a while was so unpredictable when you were sick. . maybe he understood more about your death than we thought.  

Regardless, those days are gone.  This little angel has turned into the most magnificent little man!!  He is mild and helpful and tender.  He listens and he loves.  He is an absolute delight.  Ben went from worrying to bursting with pride.  Andrew is just as perfect and chewable as you probably remember - he's into things, capable and curious of making mischief but soooo, soooo sweet.  

 My older kids yelled from the back yard, "MOM, QUICK! LOOK AT ANDREW!"  I sprinted our of fear he was on the edge of the patio table dancing again, but what I found was this cute little lounger.  They were yelling with urgency because they didn't want me to miss how adorable he was!
