Keeping my commitment!!!

These are of the boys before we went to see Santa, they really do love one another!


This week as been one of those weeks. Just when you think things are calming down after Christmas and Corban's birthday, I get hit with a week that is so hard. Corban is at a stage where he want me to engage him, no self play. I love to play with him, but I also have a five month old to manage and laundry, dinner and life. If anyone has suggestions on helping me foster self play I would greatly appreciate it. Anyways, Corban is so busy talking to me all day long and Cohen is almost sitting up. We are going to have a cars movie night with Corban tonight, and I am really looking forward to it.

Back to blogging...

I am back, and I promise to post once a week! Yes I know this is a lofty goal, but it is new years resolution. I want to be able to get to the end of the year and see how far we have come as a family, and this is my great documentation of that journey. So I am back, and you will see us here every week w/something!

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.
