Just a quick note to say, we are still here!! And, things are going quite well considering we are house bound for the most part until Emme Jade's stitches come out on the 16th! I am happy to say "The Empress" is a much better patient at home than she was at the hospital!!!! She is recovering beautifully here.. She plays sweetly with her toys, gets her "Cinderella" fix, naps most afternoons and is sleeping great at night! Praise God. She complains once-in-a-while of pain in her back. But, not enough to even mention considering what she has been through.. This little girl continues to amaze me!!

Otherwise, life continues to move forward here.. Jeff's Mom has been here to help which has made life much easier.. It's a blessing to be able to leave Emme home when I need to shuttle the other girls, run errands, or go to school.. Thank you Little Grandma!

IVY

Jeff and Sienna left today for their annual trip to AZ! As I write, Sienna should happily be with her BFF, Nadi!!! It is a blessing that we are able to keep this special friendship going! This is a special week to be there, as Miss Jill and Miss Mary are heading off to China on Thursday to bring sweet Ivy home!! If you think of it, will you pray for this beautiful blessing. Ivy has a very serious heart condition, and she just needs to get home to get the medical attention she desperately needs.. She is being adopted into one VERY special family!!! We can't wait to welcome Ivy home!!
