So long....

Wait Daddy!

I think something is in my pants!

Day at the zoo!

I must apologize for being such a bad blogger these past few months, I have no excuse! So I figured I would just update everyone on what the Causey Family has been up to. Well I am 31/32 weeks prego and starting to swell, yeah! Besides fat feet everything is going great and we are just trying to get our lives ready for our newest addition. Corban is doing great! He had tubes put in at the beginning of May, and has not had an ear infection since. This is huge for us, so we are very thankful for our doctors for making Corban feel much better. He also had a swallow study done a few weeks ago and we found out that he has a low tone swallow issue that causes him to pocket food down in his throat. Not such a good thing, but we have started a stem treatment that should help increase tone and solve the problem. Once we overcome this, we will start therapy to deal with the food aversions that were created by this low tone problem. All this to say that we are making strides every week and hope to be eating meat & fruit by Christmas! I have to say that would be the best Christmas gift I could get this year. Joshua is doing good, just busy with work. They have moved to a new building that they built, and he is very proud of it. He is great with Corban, they slide and play ball every day. So overall we are all doing great and are just trying to absorb the last bit of time that we have together as a family of three.

Day at the park!!!!

Today we wnet to the park and had a picnic with our friends! We had such a great time and did not want to leave, so Mom had to bribe me with a cookie to get me to leave the playscape! Here are some fun pics, take alook when you have some time.

Happy Easter: HE LIVES!!!

We has such a great Easter weekend! This is one of the most significant holidays of the year, along with Christmas, so getting to share that with Corban and Joshua is so great. It seems that I so often forget about what an amazing gift GRACE is and on Easter weekend I am continually reminded. I hate that it takes His death and resurrection to remind me of what an amazing gift he gave me, but again I am renewed in it. I have uploaded our pics from the Castle Hills Easter egg hunt to a web gallery, Corban had so much fun!

The Ranch

Last weekend we had a family getaway at Causey Ranch! Its not uncommon for us to go out there, however we usually take guests or have family with us, so for us to go alone was a gig deal. Corban had so much fun driving the gator and going to see the cows and donkeys, although he was a little scared at first. We blew lots of bubbles all weekend, and now all Corban says is "bubbles". I am glad we got a chance to getaway and do nothing for a few days!

One Year Pics (2 months late)!

We went and took Corbans one year pics last week, and we had so much fun! The photographer, Amy, met us in downtown Fort Worth and we took pictures at this old historic church that had been discovered in a warehouse. Although my son decided that he did not want to walk or stand, he had fun in the chair. Please go to www.imagesofgracephoto.com and click on her blog, he is the Mr. C post from last week. These are just a few of the pics, but they are so cute. Oh and by the way, she takes great pics, i would recommend her to anyone.

Red Wagon!

On Sunday Josh, Coban, Aunt Lindsey and I went on a walk with our new Red Wagon! Corban loved it and thinks that it is just the next best thing to pancakes (he loves pancakes). He even wore his Aggie hat (that Joshua hates) that Aunt Lauren got him, he looked so cute. We hope it warms up again soon, so we can go on another ride.

Family of four?

Wow, just saying family of four freaks me out! Oh yeah, and for those of you who don't know, we are expecting in September. I am totally freaked out, but the Lord is daily reminding me of his plan and grace in my life. Today when I went into the midwife and heard the heartbeat, I fell in love. Yes I am overwhelmed and my control issues are constantly saying "NO", but I know that the Lord is constantly reminding me of HIS power in my life and to cling to HIS promises. So get excited in the fall we will have a family of FOUR.

My First Haircut

Well, we finally did it, we cut Corbans hair and his beautiful curls. I know that they will grow back, but it was bitter sweet. I think he looks so handsome and Daddy really likes his cut. His Aunt Barbara did it over at Grandmas on Saturday and he did so great.

Valentines Day Pancake

Mom made me heart shaped pancakes on Valentines Day and I loved them!!!!

Cute Super Bowl Pictures

I know I am so late with this, but I just had to post them! We went to Tricia & Gary's house for the Super Bowl and even though the Cowboys were not contenders, Josh & Gary insisted everyone still support the home team. Dad decided to put his hat on Corban and although it was so big, it was so cute! So here are a few pics of Corban & his Aunt Tricia.

PT Evaluation

So anyone that knows Corban, knows that he is a tiny little thing! Which is not that big of a deal, except that he does not eat anything with texture well. This has been a concern of mine for quite some time, and after speaking with the doctor it was recommended that we go see a PT. So this past week we finally went to see her, and got the confirmation that I am not a crazy over concerned mother, there really is a problem. It was such a relief to hear, and to know that with therapy we can correct it. So we are going to see a PT once a week for the next few moths to work with Corban on all of his sensory issues. I am really looking forward to seeing the progress and having him eat one day like a big boy. I thank everyone who has been praying for us and ask you to continue praying for progress.

It's My Birthday!!!!

I had so much fun on my first birthday! Everyone came to see me and I got to eat all day long. We went to play at "Going Bonkers" and I had a blast. I got way to many toys and Mom is not sure what to do with them all. I love all of my new toys and I love to get them all out and make a huge mess. I am looking forward to my next year and learning to walk soon.

Merry Christmas (a few weeks late)

Mom & Dad's Gift

Me & Papa
We had a wonderful first Christmas with Corban!!! It was such a joy to share in the holiday with him and start new traditions. Although we had many gifts and treats to share, we tried our best to show him the true meaning and purpose of Christmas. Although his attention span is short, I think we held it long enough to share the wonderful news of Baby Jesus. I have added some of our favorite pictures from the holidays.
