Our family from Florida came back to see us again this August. What a huge blessing to have them here two years in a row. Last year our time together was cut short because on their second day with us I received the news that my Mom needed to have brain surgery. Thus
Georgea & I took off to Maryland, with James just a day behind. This year we tried it again, and our "take 2" was a wonderfully sweet week of fun, adventures, good food & lots of laughs and love. Here we are at the Grand Canyon.
Caitlynn, the oldest of our
neices is heading off to her senior year in college this fall. I saw her for the first time when she was just a few days old. Hard to believe how the time gets away from us.
Alli just graduated from high school and is moving to Texas to be a part of an amazing dance group. We are so proud of her courage and how she is chasing her dream.
Georgea,
oblivous to the "wonder" behind her was just happy to be with her family.
Megan is sweet #3 and is a sophomore in high school this fall. I always say her parents should have named her "Joy" and in this picture you can get a small glimpse of why.
Here they are, my loves. I just adore these girls more than words can say.
Georgea was tucked in the Ergo, so she wouldn't go over the edge. :-)
The beauty of the Grand Canyon still amazes me. I am thankful that we live driving distance away and have the opportunity to visit here a couple of times a year.
James brother John....but I claim him as my own. :-)
James & John did a short hike down into the canyon. Beautiful.
The girls trying to stay dry from a little shower that passed through while the guys were on their adventure.
Seeing them together makes me want three! Although I don't think I'm quite equipped to handle all that responsibility.
Loving her new ability to drink with a straw.
We stayed 2 nights at a beautiful, rustic resort located alongside a river with beautiful views just north of
Sedona.
I'm playing such catch up with the blog that I'm a little out of order. Georgea had an EEG in July because there was a concern that she may have been having some intermittent seizures. The Reader's Digest version is this: Our girl is amazing! She was a perfect patient during her EEG. Slept when they needed her to, woke when they needed her to and the best news is that her results came back absolutely "normal." The neurologist we worked with believes, based on the results of Georgea's EEG, that she has not been having seizures. The Doc felt so good about the results that he didn't even feel the need to do any recommended follow up. Sigh of RELIEF!
Georgea was amazing patient while the 26 electrodes were applied all over her little head.
Sleepy girl, just what the Doctor ordered.
Look at all those cords!! This was a stressful experience for James & me, but it all went as smoothly as is possible.
