Easter at Poppy and Grandma's House

Easter morning was chilly, but by the afternoon it had warmed up for the annual Easter Egg hunt at our great grandfather's house. There were about 25 great-grandchildren young enough to participate in the fun this year!

Cullen and Jacob love to trip up people by saying they aren't the twin you called! Anyway we know better, boys! :) Here they are trying "to smile the same"!

A Journey of Faith

Today is the sixth month anniversary since John’s brain surgery. There is so much to be thankful for. God has truly been good to us the last few months and John has recovered amazingly well. He runs around like a normal little boy. We just have to be careful if he starts playing rough or when he is with a lot of other children. Because of the surgery and other abnormalities, his head doesn’t have the full neck support.

Thinking back to the day of John’s first surgery, we remember the hours of waiting and the intense relief when he first spoke to us after the eight hour operation. We want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ because with His arms carrying us we made it through and to everyone for their love, prayers and support for John.

A week before John's brain surgery his sisters and their friend Deanna wrote this song called "A Journey of Faith.
