Well.... we can finally say Evan has taken his first steps! Saturday night I was holding Evan's hand while he walked around the family room and I let go..

I wanted to explain the 7X7 Prayer button at the side of my blog. Angie Smith (whose blog I faithfully follow), has challenged her readers to commit to praying for our children 7 times a day for 7 days.
