Today marks one year since Becca came home from the hospital. She’s come a long way from those first days we had her home with us. Now instead of spending most of the day feeding Becca and making sure she gets her medications on time, we fill our time with playing “where’s Flopsie?” and learning how to put markers back in their box.
Thursday night we were all awakened by the apartment fire alarm system. We stumbled out of bed and made our way outside and then sat in the car until the firemen said everyone could return to their apartments. It was a false alarm, apparently (or at least, no worse than someone overcooking their midnight snack). Becca slept through the first part of the alarm, and once she came out of a daze, she was quite happy to enjoy the excitement.
W
e had enough snow on Friday to take Becca out sledding. She enjoyed her rides down the little hill, and we enjoyed our time outside in the snow. Saturday Becca was sick all day with a fever. It was very similar to her one-day fever during the Christmas holidays. It turns out that she has another tooth popping through, and I think I can safely say that both fevers were related to teething.
Looking over the past year, it’s been neat to remember the many ways the Lord has answered our prayers concerning Becca. Thank you so much for praying for our little girl. She is truly God’s gift to us, and each day with her is a treasure.
Love all the picts! Thankful with y’all for Becca and all God has done through and for her. Really like the pictures of her with “long hair”.
That is a great picture of her and Josh! I love seeing the pictures of her standing. Just shows how much she is growing up.
What great pictures — I’m not sure how it’s possible, but she just gets cuter all the time! 🙂 Thanks so much for the weekly updates and pics so we can continue to rejoice with you at how well Becca is doing and what a blessing she is to your family!
What great pictures of a great family!! One day Becca will love reading all of your posts about her – (and her family) and I sure enjoy reading them now!!
It is such a blessing and an encouragement to read and see how God has taken care of Becca. Our God is so good and that is so evident through your beautiful little girl. I love checking in to see the new pics and read about Becca’s latest exploits. God bless you all. My prayers continue to be with you.
I love reading your posts and seeing the pictures for two reasons: 1, Becca is so cute and has such a fun little personality which comes through in the pictures, and 2, they are such a good reminder of how good our God is and how wonderfully He works in our lives! Thanks so much for sharing your joy with us!
Becca is indeed proof of answered prayer. People still ask us about how she is doing almost weekly. It is always fun to give a report and often show a picture. What a week you’ve had with the drastic weather changes. Loved seeing Becca enjoying the snow and the pictures of y’all each with her. Also enjoyed seeing the Bible story illustration marching across your living room. Love y’all!
