Answered Prayers!

It has been two weeks since I updated so this will be long, but it is full of answered prayers and unexpected blessings and LOTS of Pictures!

I mostly have fun updates, but let me get the medical out o the way. Maddy is doing great. Still having leg pain, but otherwise my little firecracker is doing well and keeps us on our toes! Alex is doing better then he was, but we discovered this week that he has a UTI. I am hopeful that some of his pain has been caused by this as it looks like its been brewing for a while. Hopefully, the antibiotics will kick in and he will start to feel great!

On April 17th, we went for our annual Bluebonnet pictures with Tina at Tina W Photography. I haven't seen our whole session yet, but the couple pictures I've seen are beautiful!

The rest of that week was pretty normal with school, doctors appointments, therapy, golf, dancing and acting!

Last Saturday we got to attend Seaquest Aquarium with HopeKids. We had so much fun and the interactive aquarium was a blast!

On Monday morning, we were so excited to get an offer letter for a great position for Bruce.  We scrambled to try and secure a vehicle for him to start work on Tuesday! he had a great first week, while we again were busy with all of our regular activities.

This weekend was focused on Alex's confirmation. Yesterday he had a party to celebrate with his friends.

Some of these kids have known each other since they were little. Their friendships were cemented during the 5th and 6th grade years and the friendships have continued to deepen over the past 7 months as they met weekly to discuss their faith and prepare to begin their own walk with Christ. These friends have meant so very much to Alex and I have loved watching the kindness and love they all share.
This morning was special. On April 17, 2005, Alex was baptized at Keller United Methodist Church. On June 8, 2004, Maddy was being baptized on Alex's 10th birthday and Alex asked Pastor Chris if he could reaffirm his baptismal vows. This morning, Alex was confirmed at the only church he has ever known. I have watched this church family, nurture him, love him and help him grow in his faith.
