The Deardurff Family: spring has sprung

Spring is here and we couldn't be happier! The afternoons are getting warmer and we are loving getting to be outside. G is so happy playing with chalk, swinging, playing ball, playing with bubbles, taking Wrigley for a walk to see the horses, riding in her car and wagon, and just running around after a long winter inside. She is continuing to grow in her roll as big sister. She loves her little brother so much that sometimes her hugs turn into squeezes. He doesn't seem to mind. She also loves to talk to him and make him laugh. It is precious!
A is also growing. He is almost 3 months old and weighs about 17 pounds. He is sleeping about 7-8 hours at night, most of the time. FINALLY! Thank you Jesus. We've come a long, long way in 12 weeks. He is continuing to do excellent at tummy time. He is able to hold his head up 90 degrees and even rolls over from belly to back occasionally. We have settled into a nursing, playing, napping routine.
Brian and I feel so blessed. A year ago we lost a child, but God carried us through that very difficult time. He knew what the future held for our lives, even though we couldn't see it then. He is faithful. Our children have a sister in heaven that watches over them. Someday we will all meet her when we reach heaven's gates.
