Grammy Joy is in St. Louis for a weekend visit. Liliana is so excited to play little people with her "Gammy Doey" all day. It's nice to have a few days of girl-time with my mama & Liliana while Wade works on projects around the house.

I saw Dr. Chao for my first osteopathic manipulation this morning. Apparently, just about every inch of my back, neck and hips were out of alignment due to my unexpected trip on Tuesday. After about 30 minutes and countless snaps, crackles and pops...my body was back in business. I have to go in for weekly treatments to make sure the constant muscle spasms don't pull things in the wrong direction. The medications are doing a fabulous job of keeping the pain to a minimum. And, much to my delight, I actually slept last night and during nap time today! Someone gimme an "Amen!"

A giant thank you to our neighborhood friends who surprised me with a basket of bath and body goodies. What a thoughtful gesture to lift our spirits! Stacy, Torie, Jen, Jami, Cathy, Mary Jo, Lindy, Lynda and Jess--you rock!

Congratulations to Monica and Ricardo on the birth of Andres Jose (my new nephew) on Wednesday. Congrats to Julie and John, who welcomed baby Christopher on Tuesday. We celebrate your growing family, and we pray the Lord will soon grant us the same gift.

Thanks again to you, our faithful blog readers, for your prayers and comments. Your support truly is helping us through this difficult time. Bless you!
