Summer Time

We have had a lot going on this summer between Macy's health and moving into a new house. I am still unpacking and trying to get settled and on a good schedule with the kids. We are so thankful for great friends and neighbors and wonderful family that have helped us with everything, especially Louis' mom! She dropped everything and jumped on a plane to help Louis with the older girls when I had to leave up north with Macy for a week. You are the best grandma and mom Cynde, and we are so grateful for you! Here are some pix from the last couple of months of our crazy life...

At the beginning of June we had some graduations in the Fam. Baylee had her preschool graduation ceremony and did a great job singing. Uncle Roger graduated from his Anesthesiology Residency from UM and after 12 years is FINALLY done with school for good! We are so proud of him! Good luck with your new job in California, we are going to miss you!
These were taken when Macy turned 1 month old. It was the day before I left with her to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, before her diagnosis. My Baylee is only 4 years old, but she seemed to know that her baby sister wasn't doing well and always showed concern. She has so much love for Macy, it is so sweet. She rarely leaves her side. Our sweet little Savana just copies her too. They both adore Macy to death. She is a very lucky girl!
Before grandma Cynde left we took her to the beach and Macy tagged along for the first time! It was a great day!Baylee and Grandma Cynde swimming laps in our new pool! 6 weeks old...After only one week of meds and supplements she was starting to look a lot healthier!
On Jun 18, 2011 the Ft. Lauderdale Temple had it's ground breaking ceremony! It's going to be built just 2 miles from our new home. Here is a pic of the grounds when we drove by the ceremony. It will take a couple of years to finish, but we so excited about it already!June 19, 2011, Daddy and his girls on Father's Day!
