Running again

It has been a good day. We had a lot of fun playing out in the snow. It is amazing how far Derek has come since his first snow outing home from the hospital. He was moving around pretty well in the snow. Tonight he surprised us with running!! And then, after running a few times across the house, he jumped. It was wonderful to see, and he was so excited. He has not run in what feels like an eternity, but is only probably a little more than 5 weeks ago. His hard work continues to pay off.

    Great pictures. Such cute kids. Kristie is going to have a little boy within the next week. They are scheduling a c-section. We will be proud grandparents to two grandsons now.
