weird...

I posted some more pics of vacation the other day, but they aren't showing up on the blog unless you click on June on the side bar. Then they come up just fine.

More pics of the beach

Chris and Kaiyah enjoying the hot tub. She thought it was marvelous!
Kaiyah did not like the feel of a hermit crab crawling on her hand. It tickled too much.


But she loved being buried up to her waist in sand!

This is how Amelia spent her time at the beach. The sound of the waves put her out!

Calling a seagull on the first morning we were there. She and I went out for a walk while everyone else slept. Good memories!

Two of my favorites...

We're home!

Vacation was great and we all loved the beach. Here are a few pics with more to come later...

Prayer needed...

We got a phone call tonight from Chris's sister, Cindy. Her son, Nathan, has been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Cindy had noticed he'd been drinking alot and had sweet-smelling breath, etc and took him to the ER after looking up some info online. Nathan has been admitted to the hospital and his blood sugar levels have been stablized (his levels were over 500, with normal being 80-100). Hopefully they caught it in time and no major damage has been done. It's alot for a 10-year-old to handle.

Happy 80th Birthday, Grampy!

We want to wish my Grandpa Reid a very happy birthday today! We're so glad that we get to be a part of your life!!! These pictures of Grandpa and Kaiyah are from last June.

Quick Update

Just wanted to update everyone that Amelia had an ultrasound on her hip this morning and the report is good. The harness is holding the ball of the femur flat against the socket and so the joint can deepen and the bone can grow rounded around it. We have to wear the harness full-time (not even for baths) for another 4 weeks and then we'll see how things are improving. The dr is expecting about 8 weeks of wearing the harness to correct the dysplasia. Keep praying that Amelia's body responds and grows to heal the dysplasia. We'll keep you updated as we know more!
