This year, most of my prayers have been dedicated to my children's and especially Callie's, health. I hope that you'll join me in continuing this prayer as I just scheduled Callie's appointment at Mayo's in October. Our hope is that Callie's body has corrected this problem on its own, meaning that she will no longer need to be on preventative antibiotics. It will also mean that there is no need for surgery. The one test is not going to be pleasant, but I'm hoping it will go much smoother at Mayo's then it did at our local hospital. I am also praying for peace for Callie, that she has more understanding this time that it's a "necessary evil" (though I'd never call it that to her . . . ) and she will know that it's only a short time to endure. Thank you in advance for joining me in this prayer! Our God is an amazing God, working in our lives daily! God bless you and yours this week!

She's testing her limits and mothering Gabriel all the time. She's still making up songs. I really wish I could get it on video, but she stops when she sees the camera. She loves going to " MicaDonalds ", but fortunately, just because she thinks it's a playground. She rarely asks to go there to eat. The past couple times we've gone out, she's actually asked to go to Chili's. Gabriel is walking more confidently and adding to his vocabulary. If you say "R...
