Caroline's wish came true this week...

Well, Julianne Nicole took her first steps this week.  Needless to say, we were all thrilled for her!  A few weeks ago, as we were traveling back to Decorah from Rochester, the sun was setting and the first few stars were appearing in the sky.  Caroline noticed a star and asked if she could make a wish.  She quickly said,  "I wish that Julianne would walk."  The fact that our 4 year old daughter would wish for something great to happen to her sister warmed our hearts.  So, yesterday, when Julianne took her first steps, I said to Caroline:  "Your wish came true!"

She has been so close for so many weeks, but just lacked the "want to".  Then, a couple of days ago, she just started standing up and trying to walk--all of her own volition.  This video was shot on her second try, so you all are getting to see her first real steps!  :)


It is such a joyful thing to watch your children reach different milestones.  I hope you enjoy watching Julianne walk, and our reaction to this happy occasion.  Needless to say, we didn't hide our emotions!

There is much to report, but I will save it for future blogs.  For now, we hope you will feel like you were right here in Decorah with us as you watch this precious footage.

Hugs,

Kristin
