Mobility has become the norm with this kid… and believe me, he’s into everything! There’s just so much to do, and so much to see.

Here, this will help you visualize:

Come Get It… oops

Here He Comes!

This Way - That Way

Dear Readers,

Please pray for Emma Katherine, daughter of Pastor McDonald of Providence Church. Below I am including a post from Pastor McDonald’s blog:

Our four year old daughter, Emma Katherine, started complaining about pain in her right palm last week. Friday afternoon, we noticed a small lump in the middle of her palm. It seemed to grow over the weekend. Right now, it is the diameter of a nickel and visibly raised.

We just returned home from the doctor today (the Lord blessed us in locating a homeschooling physician). The doctor’s recommendation is that we have the lump removed right away. He cannot tell what it is, but said it could be cancerous. He had never seen such a cyst like this before. He even brought in one of his colleagues to get his opinion. Of course, our prayer is a benign cyst. Our doctor is contacting a pediatric surgeon here in Peoria to schedule the next step.

The procedure will take place in the hospital. Emma will have to be sedated.

We certainly covet your prayers. We serve a sovereign God.

I will post updates as this progresses.

Here is the link to Pastor McDonald’s blog so that you may keep up with things if you wish. Please remember them in your prayers!

Allen loves to play with his truck.

Doesn’t he look so cute in his Sunday outfit?

Allen’s reaction to his first solid food (mashed bananas) was less then enthusiastic.

The medicine dropper feels so good on the sore gums.

Babies grow up SO FAST! Today, we are officially crawling. Only when we must mind you, such as when a toy is out of reach, but quite on purpose. Sigh* The next thing you know the kid is going to be everywhere.

I’m sure more pictures and videos will be coming to a blog near you soon!
