and for a breath of fresh air

We are now another three weeks out from Julia's week of hell .... we did have one additional setback -- her palette split open about an inch and she will have another surgery in a few months to repair that. Oy vay ... what a pain in the patootie. Julia goes on Tuesday 9/19 for an EEG to help determine what else we can learn about her siezures ... but

We have resumed life -- it is busy and full and rich. The boys are in their usual stuff -- band and football and cross country ... all great. But the BEST entertainment in our life has to be soccer with the 6 year olds. Let me share a few photos of Joy and Julia last week. It was a perfect day -- the right amount of sun, clouds, grass -- I could not ask for more. Julia is Head Cheerleader and Joy -- well the pictures tell all.

Enjoy.
