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
