September 2008
Well, it’s around that time of the month to update the family…although, I’ve seen most of you this past month, so you all know what’s going on!
It was a great blessing to have Chane down to visit. It was really nice to have the siblings together, even though it happened completely different than anyone could have imagined. Chane, we love you. When you come back, Joanna, you better be here too, with kids in tow!!!
As for our end of the family, we are moving right along. Elise is still just full of life and excitement. She’s opening up more quickly than ever before to more people, and has taken a great liking to Hawthorne!! Brian, Elise and I were fortunate to have been able to go the UF game over this past weekend (thank you Ken and Nyla, it was so much fun!), and Elise got to become more acquainted with Gramma and Grandpa Bradshaw’s house (thanks Momma and Dad). I think she loved Gramma’s exercise machine, Luke’s loose CD’s and rubix cube, & the wooden coasters the best. This was also the first time she was around the lov sac and didn’t totally freak out!
Here at home, she’s decided hiding behind curtains and trying to sneak into the office is the most fun she can have. So I finally gave her a sheer panel to hang over the stairs to run through and play in, my old laptop that will never ever start again, and an outdated old cell phone with no sim card or battery. Go figure, the enjoyment only lasted a moment or so until she realized they don’t have glowing lights. It was a good effort though, and she still plays with them occasionally. Check out the albums on the facebook account to see her in action! Her signing vocabulary expands as quick as I can teach her the signs.
I believe I have shared a list with some of you, if not all, but here it is again:
Baby
Ball
Bath
Bird
Blanket
Book
Brush
Cat
Cereal
Dog
Down
Drink (she makes the sign for water when she wants a drink, unless she wants milk, then she’ll sign milk)
Duck
Eat
Fish
Flower (Also, Eden)
Good Morning
Good Night
Happy
Help
Hat
Horsey
I don’t know

More
No
Outside
Please
Popcorn
Quiet
Shoes
Socks
Sleep
Smell
SorrySwim
Telephone
Thank you
Tired
Toothbrush
Up
walk
Water
Where
Yes
She can also say a few things:
All done
Amen
Mama (she actually says this now!)
Da da
Ba ba
Elise
Shhh
And she makes these noises:
Deee dill dee dill (she does this when she wants to sing to daddy)
Snake
Pig
She can also point to these parts of her body:
Hair
Head
Eyes
Nose
ears
teeth
mouth
feet
belly
arms
legs
fingers
toes
tongue
neck
She understands so many commands, like go upstairs, jump, sit down, put your toys away, go get a diaper, go find your baby etc. it would be so hard to name them all. Let’s leave it here and have it suffice to say, the kid’s a sponge!!
She’s becoming more brave in the water. She tries to swim to and from the wall to me or Brian. She also will throw a toy in the water, and fully clothed, attempt to turn herself around to try to retrieve it from the pool.
We are getting ready for Halloween and I’m making a poodle skirt for her and I, Brian, of course will be our greaser! J
Shannon has started wrestling and won one of his matches, yay Shannon! And Devon is signed up for soccer again this year, after a lot of effort.
The last time the boys were here though, I was in Hawthorne to see Dad, so I didn’t get to see them very much. Brian had them clean up for me so I came home to a freshly cleaned living room and kitchen.
Thank you to everyone who has been so willing to help Brian and I this coming week. For those of you who don’t know, my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday to have the screws removed. It hopefully will end the pain I’ve been having so acutely in my shoulder.
Thank you everyone for your generosity toward Brian and I this past month. We appreciate you, and you know who you are!!!1
We are praying for all of you, for your individual needs, physical, economical etc. and give thanks for your presence in our lives daily.
Talk to you next month!
Love,
The Denhams
