My heart is heavy this evening as our church family learned that Narda Almonte passed away from cancer. My heart and prayers go out to her husband Wilson, and her son, Julian. Narda is now in Glory and that makes me excited for her. She has reunited with her daughter and is in the presence of JESUS! I tried to imagine her beside Jesus, worshiping him, and my little brain started going out of control! Because I cannot fathom being in the presence of our Almighty Savior, what an overwhelming thought! I am in prayer for her family, and praising God that she is forver healed!
------Update on Elias' bump: Every day the bump decreases in size, THANK GOD. It must have been from him bumping his head somewhere. We are still keeping an eye in it. Also, he gets an ultrasound on his kidney's on Thursday to make sure his little kidney's are doing ok. While he was in the womb, one kidney was larger than the other and they just want to make sure everything is gowing properly. Thanks for praying! -Forever His, Jennifer

Bump on Elias' head...

So, as I was feeding Elias his bottle this morning, I noticed that he had a bump on the top of his head. It concerned me because it was very near to his soft spot, but I wasn't sure if it was actually his soft spot. Anyway, I called the doctor, and he said just make sure it stays soft and doesn't harden up. Also, if he runs a fever I should call him. So, I am blogging this so that you can pray for it to not develop into anything. It may be due to him bumping his head against the crib, or just bumping it somewhere and I didn't notice it before. Pray that is disappears! Thanks for your prayers!
Also, worship and Sunday school at Fishhawk Fellowship (our church) was great today! I am greatful for our church and all the leaders who help show us the way to the Cross! -Forever His, Jennifer

Elias...

Well, our son Elias is now 6 months old! We can hardly believe it! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital...He brings us so much joy and we are so thankful for him. Elias' 6mo measurements: 18lbs (57th percentile) 27 1/4 in (72 percentile) Maybe he'll be tall like his Daddy! He is finally getting some hair in, its coming in a light brown color... His smiles and laughs are becoming to be so much more frequent now that he understands "our world" a little better. And by the way, his laugh is priceless. Also, with turning 6 months comes food, REAL food. So far Elias has had rice cereal, oatmeal, peas, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and bananas. He likes them all except for the peas... those are on hold for a while =). Elias is on the verge of sitting on his own. He can hold himself up for a few seconds at a time and it wont be long until he's sitting. My baby is getting so big! Well, there is an update on our son so far. Please pray that he stays healthy and continues to grow into a beautiful little child of God. -Forever His, Jennifer

Blogging?

Ok, well I have learned that blogging is definitely becoming more popular, so I thought I'd give it try...I thought it would be a cool way to keep all of our family and friends that don't live in Florida up to date with whats going on in our lives! So bare with me as I learn this "blogging thing" and enjoy! -Forever His, Jennifer
