We are enjoying some beautiful summer days! Last night the girls were outside watching and talking to Chris and his friend Andy who were spreading mulch as well as riding bikes and playing at our neighbor's house. It is great to be normal. Reeve has learned how to walk and she is keeping us on our toes because she is quite good at getting into things she shouldn't. While we haven't taken any big trips this summer, we did manage to make a day trip to Burr Oak, Iowa, to see Laura Ingalls Wilder's house. We also visited the trout hatchery in Decorah and some friends there as well. Last week I took Leah and Chloe to the water park in Cedar Falls - we loved it there and are planning to go back soon. Really, there is not much to report. We go back to Iowa City on July 26th for a CT and AFP draw. Of course this makes us anxious just thinking about it. We continue to pray for Leah's good health and complete healing here on earth, and hope that others still are including her in their daily prayers. We also have a few friends that are in need of some prayers right now: Elijah who has ALL and has relapsed and Jace, who was in remission for meduloblastoma (brain tumor) for two years + and has relapsed. Thanks again to everyone for continuing to check in on us, even though I don't post as often (I think that is a good thing!), and keeping Leah in your prayers.
