A Good Day...Praise God!

Lamentations 3:22-23 "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

Praise God for a good day today!  Cannon woke up and seemed rested, his color was back, and so was his personality....dimples and everything!  He had a good morning and so he ended up getting to go watch his Musical Theater camp today.  It was so fun to see his face light up when everyone in the room shouted his name when he walked in!  I think they were all relieved to see him!  And it was great to see him back where he loves to be.  Although the afternoon was really good for him, he came home really exhausted and so he rested this evening.  He did get enough energy later in the evening to ask if we could have a family game night...again, it was just so good to see him back to himself!  WE compromised with 1 game and then bedtime.

Grace also had another good day.  She enjoyed some one on one time with me this afternoon as we played Polly Pockets and her dolls.  I asked her if she was bored with staying at home and if she was ready to start going places and she told me, "No, momma, I get too tired when we go out.  I really like it when we just play at home."  I think some of this is true but I also think she feels safe at home too.  My prayer for her is that she will learn to feel more comfortable being out more and will gain more and more strength, as well.  She did walk to the end of the street and back with Kevin tonight, which is great exercise for her!

I continue to be so thankful for my sweet friends who love us enough to continue to call, email, and post to this blog to check up on us.  I am also so thankful for the thoughtful friends who take time out of their busy summer to check in on us here at the house.  Cannon had a nice visit last night with his small group leaders from church that really seemed to bring him a lot of joy and ice cream for the kids and we had sweet friends today who stopped by with the kids favorite treats!  Thank you for the way you are loving our family,

Thank you also for your continued prayers,

Carrie
