Life at a glance

Our life at glance since my last post.... Monday was Serren's fluoroscopy and praise God we got only good news! She is no longer aspirating. They will repeat the tests again after her next surgery to make sure things haven't changed again, but as of now things are looking up.

Tuesday J got his new 4wheeler. It was priceless. Eric told J he would finish the trampoline while he was off, so when J got home from school he asked about it. I just gave him a little grin and told him to go look for himself. When he came around the house Eric had his and J's 4wheelers side-by-side. J just looked real confused for a minute and asked who's the new one was. When Eric told him he just kinda looked at him for a minute. Then he said, "It's mine? That one is for me?" He just grinned and asked if he could ride it now. Eric sent him in for his helmet and loaded them up. We took them to Uncle Mike's Hampton property and they rode until dark. He had a blast! For those of you who don't know, J has been asking for and saving his money for a 4wheeler since he was about 4 or 5. Every Christmas and every birthday he takes any money he gets and puts it into his savings acct. He has about $150.00 saved up. That's great for him, but at that rate he'd never have gotten it. So we helped with our tax return and this afternoon I am taking him to buy a matching helmet and riding suit with his money.
We also have a prayer request. With everything that's been going on with both Serren and Aaron lately, I totally spaced and missed J's soccer registration for this season. I feel terrible and I'm afraid he feels like he is less important in the big picture. I have talked to his coach and emailed a couple of the higher-ups with the association but b/c the teams are already so full things don't look too good for us right now. Please just try to remember this as you're praying for our family. Soccer is J's life and without it he feels lost. Thanks everyone and until next time.... We love you!
