Worthy Cause

Our friends Matt and Jamie Wallace, who lost their daughter Nevaeh back in April, have come up with a beautiful way to honor her and keep her memory alive.

Playroom of Hope is a room that is in the new building at Children's Hospital. It is currently being used as offices but as soon as the money is raised, it will be turned into a room for the kids in the hospital and their siblings to go and hang out. Please consider giving to this most worthy cause.

Remember them in your prayers as well. They do have a CaringBridge Website that Matt continues to update to help in the healing process.

Thank you,
Jodi

The Next Ancil Adams? Or Mr. Mom?

Sam got a hold of my mother-in-law's camera. At first he was just pretending to take pictures, complete with the clicking sounds. Then he figured out how to turn it on, pop the flash and then he snapped a few pictures. He also got a hold of our point and shoot camera and took a few self portraits.




He also likes to "gack-yoom", aka vacuum. And he likes to use various items to vacuum.




As you can see, he can also multi-task. Gotta start them young!

Therapy

Emma has been in therapy for 1 year. It is amazing the progress she has made. We went from her not being able to do anything, to her walking in one year, an answer to prayers! There has been times when she has been a pistol, not wanting to do what we wanted her. She is totally a girl who will do things on her own time. We would try anything to get her to roll over, then one day, she just starts rolling. Same thing with crawling and walking. You should see her tear it up now. I would say she is walking 90% of the time and she gets so excited when we cheer her on.

Her therapist brought us some biker shorts that should help strengthen her hips as well. We are so thankful for the progress she has made so far. The therapist says we can go to every other week or once a month now for her sessions because we just really need to work on refining her walking skills, then work on jumping and getting her on her tip toes among a few other things.





God is so good!

Big, Beautiful Smiles
