KY Together

We are back in Kentucky & it is great to be home together winding down the summer & getting ready for the school year.

Our A/C broke down after we got home so we had a couple of days of hot, hot, hot ..... in the house.

I love to sweat while I watch TV.  Really, I do. 

My sister & nephew were here so we all slept down in the basement together to "escape the heat".  That is as close to camping as we get in this family.  Hope the kids liked it. 

Hannah's doctor at NIH sent me an email to say that her bone marrow cells look normal & that her bone marrow continues to recover & show signs of improvement.  Thank you, Lord!!!

It was exactly one year ago this week that Hannah was inpatient at NIH for what turned out to be the absolute worst week of her illness.  At one point that week her temperature was 107.  I don't think I ever even put that on the blog but it was really bad.  I was not alone in thinking that she was not going to pull through.  There are no words to ever express my gratitude & thankfulness for her healing.  She is just a walking miracle & I will never stop testifying off all the things God did to get her (and all of us) through such a difficult time.  For her to be living without any neurological damage from such a high fever is beyond comprehension.  God is good!!

Today we had 2 girls over that live on our street & are also going into 3rd grade at Hannah's school.  Sweet girls & the first time Hannah has really connected with local kids since we moved here.   I was so glad for her to meet nice friends that live right here in our neighborhood!!


Below are some more pictures from our trip to Idaho.  Here are just a "few", I have hundreds but I won't bore you all with a slide show of 800 pictures. 

Enjoy!

Lily out for a ride on the Sea-doo with Michael
Lily & Michael ... she LOVES the sea-doo & asks to go "faster, faster". Just like Hannah!
Bye, Mom!
She looks so cute but really we did not let her ride all by herself. I promise.
Ryan hanging out ....
Katie and I out for a ride on the float behind the boat

Lily feeding the ducks.  Whole crackers.  Gosh, those ducks loved her!


Lily running with delight that the geese had come to join the party at the dock.


Chillin' (literally!!) in the lake


Lily driving the boat with Uncle.


And after a long day in the sun, Lily fell asleep while driving with Uncle.



Katie's turn to hold Lily for her nap :-)



My niece, Sarah, came to Idaho two days before we left, to spend 2 weeks with her BFF, Katie. So fun to see cutie-pie Sarah. Hard to believe she is going into 11th grade & just got her driver's permit.

"Not to us,O Lord, not to us, But to Your name give glory because of Your lovingkindness, because of your truth ... 
Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases ... 
O Israel, trust in the Lord; 
He is their help and their shield."
Psalm 115:1,3,9
