A little late, but Heidi's birthday was back in Feb. and we had one her friends from church come over for some cake and ice cream and some Wii. They had so much fun and it was a great day for Heidi, not just because she got cake, ice cream and presents,

BUT...

My flower girls (again)!!


Well, as most of you know we moved to PA. from MO. a year ago and we are so happy here. We got a call from a friend in MO. saying she was engaged (which we knew was coming) and she wanted our two oldest for her flower girls.

Of course they were thrilled.

The reason why you should get married, to show off beautiful flower girls!!! LOL



I just love them so much and
they did such a great job.



Ok, ok she's pretty too!
Rachel is such a sweet girl and we are honored
to be friends with her family and be a part of her special day.


Her dress was stunning!!

Yes Chuck, we like you too!!



Hi Heidi!!

Hi Hallie!!



Yay, congratulations!!

Ok, I must explain. Hope starting asking why she can't walk with her sisters.
So we made her the honorary "after flower girl".
She went and picked up every petal her sisters dropped and she was thrilled!!

So diligent!

The girls made a friend with the ring bearer.

We had some fun.
Can you find Hope?


...again look at Hope. She's so funny.

Baby Hayden update

Unfortunately, it is not good news. We have been hoping and praying for miraculous healing or things to just stay the same, but that was not what God had in His plans at this time.

#1. The Pulmonary Arteries did continue to swell. remember if they continue to swell too much they will press against the lungs and cause further complications.

#2. His heart function itself has weakened. It was not quite as strong as the last appointment.

#3 My chance of a miscarriage is higher now, which was my worst fear. I was not expecting to hear this. I was not quite as strong this time. I did break down a little.

The girls are in a wedding in MO. this weekend so we are flying out on Wednesday for a week. Our concern is that something may happen while we are gone, but not likely. The Dr. said that Hayden is the most complex case they have had and they are very concerned about the next 4-6 weeks. Our next appointment at CHOP is for July 19th. It will either be 2 hrs or 6 hrs we don't know yet.

Obviously this is not the news we wanted, but we know that God is still in control.

A very good friend of mine shared this verse with me. It really meant a lot. Sometimes we all need a little reminder who is our true ROCK and who keeps us strong.

I Samuel 2:2 There is none holy as the Lord:for there is none beside thee:neither is there any rock like our God.
