Secret Mission

Yesterday Tony, Eldin and I kidnapped the Gaudi girls (Faith and Mary) during their lunch break at Summer Blast to take them to get ice cream. We picked them up and told them we had a secret mission and them must come with us now. (of course their mom was meeting us at the ice cream place and the leadership at IRC were in on it all).
We hopped into the car and were off. Do not worry - we saved the ice cream from the evil sun and made sure it was all eaten before the sun could melt any of it.

Big Week

he loves to read

Ethan Key & Eldin - best buds


This week has been a huge week! Eldin was released from all specialty doctors - GI and PT. He is just a regular kid following normal development stages and doctor visits. I can not express how excited we are to be at this point. God has answered all our prayers and we know that each one of you made that difference in lifting us up in prayer. Thank you SO much. Below are a couple of pictures from this week of our little guy growing up.

Music

Tony loves his music and Eldin is following in his footsteps. Eldin dances even when there isn't any music playing - he has the Kingdom music playing in his life.

4th of July

We had an amazing 4th of July (me being sick besides). The Gaudi's invited us to join them for their family tradition of setting off great amounts of fireworks. Eldin and I set back with some of the kids and moms and watched the boys set it all off. Eldin had a great time and made some great friends in the process. Graham crackers and fireworks - what more can a boy want?

Hide & Roar

In the last couple of days Eldin has found amazing amount of joy hiding behind a chair and popping out crying "Roar". When I act surprised he giggles with his whole body. He then proceeds to walk back a couple of steps to "hide" again. After a couple of times he is already giggling when he is hiding. He is in a moment of pure joy and happiness! No matter how you feel or what your day has been like, you can not help but laugh and smile along.


We are SO blessed with an amazing son! Eldin's name has the following meaning:

El- God
din - noise


There have been jokes and discussion about his name since God gave us this name. We tell people that we believe that Eldin will make a mighty noise for the Kingdom of God. Recently I believe that the noise God gave Eldin at this time comes from God's Laughter. Eldin's laugh is truly divine. All melts away! I thank God for so many things and now one of my favorite things is the gift of hearing heavenly laughter - especially that he is giving it through my son.

Break Down

Ok....So I finally broke down and started a blog. Don't worry, I don't think the earth stopped spinning yet :). We, the Bowicks, have an awesome website:
www.row15.com
but it is hard updating it with quick, short, funny, must tell event all the time. Therefore, I am breaking down and starting this up.

I hope that you enjoy the tales! I know that I enjoying reading some of my friends stories on their blogspots.

Without further ado....
