The week before Derek's 1st birthday we took a house hunting trip to AZ. We were so blessed that Auntie K was able to come along with us and watch Derek so Matt and I could focus on house hunting. When we left for the trip, we had really thought we would just rent for a while, but God had other plans for us. Between our two trips to Arizona (3 days in April and this week in June), we had looked at about 100 homes in the Phoenix area. We had prayed that if God wanted us to buy that He would make it abundantly clear to us...and HE did!! He orchestrated everything and we are currently under agreement on a house! God answered our prayers and has blessed us abundantly MORE than we could have ever thought or prayed for.
During the week we were in AZ Derek took off with his walking. He began the week taking 5 - 8 steps at a time (which he had been doing for the past month) and by the end of the week he was taking 15 - 20 steps. It was so fun to see him walking everywhere by himself. He walks with his arms out in front of him like Frankenstein.
Besides looking at homes during our week, we spent lots of time at the pool and water fountains.
One night we ate dinner by the pool and Auntie K had her first cheeseburger!
Frozen yogurt and trying to get a picture with a 2 second timer!
When we took Derek to get a haircut, they had him sit in a car. He love it, but had a little bit of trouble sitting still. By the end of the haircut we were trying everything Auntie K even got out the bubbles.
Some favorites from the week...
We love Auntie K and could not have done this trip without her! Thanks for loving Derek and investing in his life. We are grateful.
