Today is Becca’s 19-week birthday. I’m not sure how long we’ll keep celebrating week birthdays, but for now it works as a good marker for posting pictures. This week, we noticed that Becca has really taken to reading…though we’re afraid that the dictionary is going to fall on her one of these days. Becca is not strong enough yet to lift it herself.
This week we celebrated Josh’s 29th birthday. Becca and I surprised Josh with a little gift to celebrate each day of his birthday week. Saturday, Josh’s gift was his birthday meal. I wasn’t sure what to make him this year and he didn’t have any special requests, so I decided to try making crab cakes. My brother, Jon, gave me a recipe and I surprised Josh with a crab cake dinner. I was a bit worried about how they would turn out and about how Josh would like them, but my worries were unwarranted – Josh loved the meal. This was my fourth year celebrating Josh’s birthday. I am so blessed to be married to Josh – he’s a wonderful husband and daddy. I thank God every day for giving me Josh as my husband.
Even though Becca couldn’t go to church on Easter, I still dressed her up for the occasion. I found her a little Easter dress at Goodwill. We had a fun time taking pictures and getting ready to see Josh when he arrived home from church. We have lots of leftover ham from our Easter dinner and I’m trying to find creative ways to use the ham in other meals.
As of this week, Becca is allowed out of the house. This Sunday will be her first time at church and we’re both looking forward to attending church together as a family. Becca’s next OT appointment is on the 19th of April and her doctor’s appointment is the same week. We’ve seen good progress with Becca’s tracking and head lifting this week. It’s always neat to see the progress she makes each day. We continue to enjoy our little Becca. I’m treasuring each day I have before I head back to teaching on the 20th. God has blessed us in so many ways and we continue to see Him work on our behalf.
Great pictures! Thanks for the newsy post!
Oh, I love the weekly posts. Please don’t stop. 😉 I love the picture where you’re kissing behind her. It’s as if she’s saying “They’re at it again.” ha ha. The crab cakes did come out really well. Great work!!! Happy Birthday Josh. You are a blessed man, and I am so happy we are in the same family!
You are so creative in the kitchen, Amy! Everything looks wonderful. Thanks for posting all the pictures! Love you guys!
I made a Ham Bone soup last night with a bean mix from the store. If that’s not on your list of ways to use up your ham then I’d recommend adding it! 😀
Would you share the recipe? 😀
Very nice! (And totally impressed with your cooking skills! Way to go, Girl!)
Enjoying all the special pictures, seeing the special daily birthday gifts – and especilly that gorgeous cake. Becca gets more beautiful each week. What a cute smile and twinkles in her eyes!
What an eventful week! My absolute favorite is the one of you (Amy) and Becca together. So sweet. Loved chatting with you today, too! Better than the blog post–though I still like the post:-)
Looks like you had a fun week of celebrating, and how exciting that you’ll be able to go to church as a family this week! We’re so happy and thankful that Becca is doing so well — praise the Lord! BTW, the crab cakes and birthday cake look delicious!! 🙂
Dear Josh, Amy and precious little Becca,
Bob said the other day “Do you ever email them and tell them how much you enjoy the pictures and commentary”. I had to admit that no, I never do. So here goes. I eagerly look forward to your weekly updates. The Lord has given you the most adorable little girl. I couldn’t be happier for you. Amy, I still remember when you were going to have your first date. I just knew that this was it! Can’t believe how much time has passed and all that has happened. I continue to pray for you and your precious little one. Grandma and Great Grandma Jensen and I talk about her and her progress whenever we see each other. So even though I’ve been neglectful about writing please know that I’m thrilled for you and really do keep up with you. Love, Mrs. T.
Yes please do not stop the weekly post they are one of the highlights of my week. She is getting such a personality
