Its Bathtime!

This week we gave Emily her first bath. She liked it a lot. She slept so hard afterwards that it was hard to wake her up. She is only out of her brace for 7 hours each day. It is really nice to hold her without it on. Emily and Amy are heading back to Jackson, Mi, for a doctor appointment on June 13th (Daddy's Birthday). The good thing is that we will be heading back the very next day.

We have been in Alabama for a week now, and are having a blast. It has been nice to not have homework, although we are looking forward to our classes next semester. Shelbyanne is enjoying being around water even though she has not ventured into it yet. We attended Amy's brother, Will's, high school graduation. He did great. We are so proud of him. We will be in Alabama till June 21st. Then we will head down to Florida.

We hope you all are having a great summer.

God Bless!

Emily Update!

Isn't She Cute?! We went to the doctor today. Emily had an ultrasound to check progress of her hips. The doctor said to keep the current brace on her 24/7 for one more week. Then she can have it off for 7 hours a day. We are excited for her to get her first bath next tuesday!! She has grown enough that he moved her from a size small to a size medium brace. He said that we need to come back and see him in 3 weeks, so Emily and Amy will be flying back to Jackson, MI in the middle of June.

Hope all is well with you all!!

Summer is Coming!!

We are coming up on the last week of classes for this semester, and boy are we tuckered out (tired)! I think having a baby may have had something to do with that though. Homework has kept Rob busy for most of our free time, although we do take a little time to get away and have fun.

We went to the Toledo Zoo last weekend and had a blast. It was cold and windy so not all the animals were out and about, but we got to see most of them. Shelbyanne had a really good time. We think her favorite animals were the seals. That's all she wanted to look at in the gift shop on the way out.

Emily is doing great! She is actually starting to smile at us and respond with the cutest facial expressions. We had another doctor's appointment at the University of Michigan on Tuesday where he changed out her brace with a clean one so we can wash the one she had been wearing. We have another appointment on May 22nd, for an ultrasound and doctor visit to see how much she has progressed. Please pray for her to finish growing completely so there will be no future complications. We want her to be able to run marathons or climb the Great Wall of China if she wants to when she grows up.

We are heading to Alabama on Wednesday, May 23rd. My (Amy's) little brother, Will, is graduating from high school on May 25th. We are so proud of him and thankful that we will be able to attend. Will is looking forward to being a freshman at Auburn in the fall.

War Eagle!

We hope and pray that things are well with all of you and your families. Thanks for all the comments we get in response to our blogs. We really like to receive updates on what is happening in your lives. We love and miss you all bunches.
