Venturing out

Our family had a nice relaxing weekend.  Grace went on her first official outing on Saturday.  We decided it would be fun to go to the movie.  So, we packed a pillow, a blanket, and off we went.  We all enjoyed getting out as a family, and Grace was so comfortable in the movie that she fell asleep!  It's amazing how quickly she gets worn out but it was fun to get her out!  

On Monday, we celebrated my mom's birthday (a few day's early) and enjoyed a picnic lunch outside.  Grace and Cannon both thought it was a little too sunny and so that is why they are holding umbrellas.  

Today, Kevin headed back to work and Cannon went back to school for just 4 more days until the last day of school.  Grace and I decided to venture out again.  This time to the bookstore to buy Grace a new book.  We were gone a little over an hour by the time we went to the bookstore and I drove through the line at the bank.  By the time we got home, Grace was worn out again.  Every couple of days, we will venture out again, in hopes that Grace will begin to build back up her strength and stamina.  I am so thankful that she is beginning to be able to get out even if it is every few days for just an hour or so.  I am also thankful that her spirits are so good!  She is such a joy to be around.  

Please continue to pray that she will continue to make progress toward strengthening her body and gaining endurance, that her body would heal, and that she would ultimately make a full recovery.  Thank you for your prayers!  Love, Carrie
