So, since my last post Jeff has officially passed all of his required test and is a full fledged PARAMEDIC now. We are so proud of him, he's worked very hard. Now he's busy filling out apps and hoping to get on somewhere to put his new learning into practice. CONGRATS HONEY!!
And speaking of new friends, this is Leslie and Trystan. They are from Moore, OK where my good friend Emily lives. Emily asked us to befriend them while they were here and it was such a blessing to do so. Trystan and her Mom spent about 6 weeks here in St. Louis and Shriners Hospital. Trystan had surgery to correct her spine, she has juvenille scoliosis. This was taken the day before she went back home. She was a trooper. She wore a metal halo around her head for several weeks with 20 pounds of weight to keep her back straight. Now she has a pink cast around her torso to help with healing. They are an awesome family! She is back home and doing well. Hopefully we'll get to visit her when she comes back for her check ups. Plus every 6 months I believe she has to come back for surgery to lenghten the rods in her back. Keep her in your prayers.

The WHOLE family!! We had an awesome weekend. Did lots of eating and spending time together. Went to Grants Farm on Friday after eating at Pappy's BBQ. Just amazing to all be together. Wish it happened more often. When we live so spread apart its too difficult. Love you all!!
