This past week we had a family emergency when Hannah’s appendix ruptured and we had to spend six days at the local children’s hospital.  We were overwhelmingly surrounded in love and prayers from friends and family both near and far.  As a family we all felt, and especially Hannah, very very loved.  Thank you for standing with us and petitioning the Lord on Hannah’s behalf for her health and saftey this past week.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82) Essays, “Friendship”

Here’s a video I made of our experience.

Not quite the adventure we had planned…

What started out as a low tide discovery hike on Alki Beach quickly turned into a close encounter for Bayus with some sharp barnacles.  We spent a good portion of the day at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital getting our little Bayus stitched up.  His only comment to the doctor was when the proceedure was finished and the doctor was preparing to leave the room, Bayus said ‘Hey, you didn’t give me a balloon!’  Spoken like a true 3yr old.  We finished out our evening at grandpa’s house making sure Bayus had a bunch of green (his favorite color) balloons to take home.  Its been 2 weeks now and his stitches are out and I’m relieved to say he is healing quite well.
