Please join us in praying...

...for our dear Ato T.  This is what he has looked like for the majority of the past 2 weeks.  He is "plugged up" internally and can't "go" without an enema.  He is having tremors, that look like tremors people suffering from Parkinson's Disease have, his appetite has been steadily decreasing, and this morning he absolutely refused to eat.  We are watching him lose weight in front of our eyes, and he's just not himself.  Most of the specialty docs we go to have been taking turns passing him to a different specialty.  We decided last night with his Developmental Pediatrician to take him off of one of his meds, in the hopes that it's what has been causing everything.  I am praying with all my heart that's what it is, and he is happy and back to "normal" in a couple of days.

I can't stand all this cuteness!

Okay, I admit that I may be the teeniest bit biased - but I believe we have absolutely the cutest kids in the world!  One picture of each kid in October.


Miss O loves loves loves her bonnet that Lisa made for her.  She wears it EVERYWHERE, all the time.  She thinks she's Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Little Miss just gets cuter every day.
When Ato T breaks out his smile, it's all over for me.

Miss I and mommy went on a special shopping trip together.  We ended the day by eating supper at Perkins.  It happened to be kids night, so she ate free AND got her face painted.  (Spider Man rules, by the way.)
