May 5 - Worth A Thousand Words

Here's one you've been waiting for. For most of you, a first look at how Barbara's doing in pictures. My sister's family joined us for a picnic under the gazebo at Miller's Merry Manor. Rather than telling you how things are going, let me show you. At the end of the day, Barbara told me she was "tired... but it's a happy tired." I hope you enjoy these.

This shot is a casual look at the picnic, minus me. It was a day with a mix of sunshine and clouds, but no rain showed up and the temperature was great. Plus, the kids had lots of room to run around in the enclosed courtyard area.

Obviously, I'm not behind the camera on this one... thanks, John! Anyway, here I am with my precious angel. It's so nice that she can sit up now... it's a lot easier to hug her! She is working on increasing her endurance so that she can stay in the wheel chair most of the day in a few weeks at the big wedding.




A great shot here with nieces and nephew. We were also treated to a piano concert, lots of pictures, and lots of action!






And a shot here with my sister Stephanie and her husband, John. Stephanie is also a contributor to this blog in the past. It was such a blessing to have them with us.

Barbara hates to have her picture taken, but she agreed to let me share these with you since you have been so actively praying for her well-being. I hope you share our thrill in seeing her looking so good and doing so well. This week? Well... I continue to pray that this will be the week that she walks!
