milestones

A quick post tonight to share all of the milestones we have been celebrating lately!

First, we celebrated the end of the school year for both kids - Eloise finished up her first year of preschool and Ethan graduated from preschool! 






Just a few days before school was out, Eloise unfortunately broke her foot - another milestone of a painful sort. She fell awkwardly off of the monkey bars and had 3 fractures in the bones on the top of her foot. She was quite the trooper though, and thankfully she only had to wear a walking shoe/boot for a few weeks. We had a checkup a week ago and her foot has already healed! 



Our sweet Eloise also turned 4 years old on May 28th. This girl! She just LOVES that she is now 4 years old. Oh how she is such a delight!



We also celebrated Ethan's 6th birthday on June 6th! My favorite memory from his birthday was when he first woke up and came walking out of his room with his hands in the air, with excitement: "I'm 6 year's old!!!"


Finally, we are all feeling a little bit giddy because tomorrow, we are off to Disney World!!! 



Because of all that Ethan has been through he got a chance to Make-A-Wish, and he wished to go to Disney World! We have been working with Make-A-Wish Missouri over the last few months to set up Ethan's trip and finally it's here! We are all so excited! It's an incredible blessing for Ethan to be granted a wish - and we hope and pray for a week filled with lots of laughter and memories together as a family!
