Thursday’s Things to Pray For

7.22.10

  1. For me to desire to spend time with God rather than doing it to check it off my to-do list. And, for me to actually do it.       
  2. For me to take full advantage of the time I have with my kids for the remainder of the summer–be intentional with my time with them so that I don’t have any regrets at the end of the summer.
  3. For Lydia’s ENT appointment tomorrow to go well and give clear answers about her failed hearing test.
UPDATE: Wanna make a mama cry? Put her baby in a papoose. :( Lydia got her ears cleaned out–lots of gunk in there. The right ear looks okay. The left ear still has fluid in there that shouldn’t be there. We will go back in September to see if that has dissipated. If it hasn’t, she will go on a round of antibiotics. If that doesn’t work, she will need tubes. We still don’t know the degree of hearing in her left ear and whether these interventions will improve her hearing or whether there is permanent damage from chronic fluid in there from untreated ear infections. 
BTW, like my picture? My sister took that picture of my other sister. Pretty cool, huh? If anyone is interested in also posting Thursday’s Things to Pray For on their blog, let me know. I’m thinking I’ll make that picture into a button, and we can all link up and lift each other up!

A playdate with Emma

7.21.10

Who wouldn’t like a playdate with this beautiful baby girl?

Okay, so maybe I enjoyed meeting Emma more than Lydia did. This is pretty much the extent of their interaction.

Maybe we won’t even have to look at each other.

Love both of their expressions in this one.

Girls, now, I know you lived about 650 miles away from each other in China (about the same distance between Phili and Chattanooga, TN for those of you who aren’t too numbers minded when it comes to distances), but you could still say hello to each other and smile a little. 

Almost got a picture of the two of them together sort of playing.
Better luck next time. 
Good news is that they are both totally on target with their parallel play. Maybe another year before they actually start playing together.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
