Our summer so far...
Well, alot has happened since my last post. Jona now has braces. We love Dr. Barron, her orthodontist. He is so kind and really makes her feel very comfortable. However, my little girl looks like such a big girl in these things. But...she is BEAUTIFUL!
Meg just continues to grow. She is still her same silly self. She is awesome entertainment and just so funny. However, she does have a sweet, innocent side to her. Last night we were sitting at the dinner table. The conversation started while Daddy was being picked on. He is so outnumbered at our house and often jokes about how he needs more testosterone around. He mentioned, "We need to adopt a boy" and some how that led to the discussion of Foster Children. I was explaining to the girls how foster children usually come from difficult circumstances and how they need people to help give them a safe place to live, etc. We discussed how my aunt was adopted and came from a family where she was removed because of abuse. Meg, out of nowhere, said..."that's just sad". I replied, "it is very sad when children are abused." Jeff quickly chimed in, "Do you even know what abused means?" Meg's reply was, "No, but is sounds really bad and that is just sad! So sad! Let's not talk about that anymore." She is precious!
We went for Jona's MRI the first part of June and then spent a week at Crier Creek Family Camp. That was the best place for our family to be while waiting for the results of the MRI. We had a blast...as always. What a remarkable place. So...let me just put in a plug for them. Go to the website...www.pinecove.com and see what they are all about. It is awesome. Here are some pictures from that adventure.
Rodeo Night... my cowgirls.
They fought it out in Crud War. They both gave it their best and got each other pretty good, but...
Jona is claming all the VICTORY!!!
Meg loves the "splash pad"
All smiles... always smiling at camp. There is lots to love there.
Jona and her counselor, Uma.
Megan and her counselor, Nappy.
Show your team spirit...Gig 'em Aggies!
We really are showing our team spirit.
Upon or return we spent Father's Day in Center with my dad. We then went to Houston to get results of the MRI. What a blessing. God works in his time... the MRI shows NO disease activity for the first time in 7 years. We are now entering new territory. Dr. Perez is going to start weaning her off the experimental drug, Cellcept. If she goes until the Spring of 2010 with no flare and no meds the doctor will it REMISSION. Keep praying. Stay tuned...
