It should be no surprise that God did a mighty show of both His power to heal and His loving care to hear and answer the many prayers that were lifted up for Hope and our family today! Thank you so very much, dear prayer warriors, for your many encouraging notes and the many prayers that were prayed over our precious girl and our family today! It never ceases to amaze me as to the loving kindness of our great God through His answers to prayer (even the ones that are answered in a way different than I would choose in my foolish wisdom/understanding!), and through the many people that God has placed in our lives to support and encourage and truly "lift us up!" throughout this trial. . . from near to far, young to "more mature!". . . we are blessed by YOU!!! and by our amazing GOD!!!

July 30, 2013 -- God's Gracious Answers to Prayer!!!
Just wanted to give a quick update to my post from last night. . .
July 29, 2013 -- Quick Update and Prayer Request!!!
Hello dear praying friends and family! It is with a heavy heart that I write this update tonight. . . I had planned to do a more lengthy update of the past month or so and some of the neat things that we've been so blessed to see God doing in Hope's life and continued slow recovery. . . but that will need to wait a bit longer. Hope had the worst day she has had, health-wise, for a long time. Even as I write this, I am reminded how far God has brought our precious girlie as days like these used to be the norm! We praise and thank Him for the fact that this is no longer the case, yet after the scare we had tonight, we are reminded that we are never far from needing to fall on our knees to beseech the King of Kings asking for His continued mercy, healing, wisdom and comfort all the while remaining in complete submission to Him and trust in Him!
July 2, 2013 -- "Steely" Determination!!!
We had our sweet little nephews staying with us. So we took the kids to the local splash park and playground. It was very sweet to watch Gabi push Hope around in the jogger stroller that was given to us by the Woolsey family, and see Hope enjoy a bit of splash park fun. Her temperature regulation is still off as even in the 30+ degree weather (Celsius), she was freezing after just a couple minutes. So she would come back to her daddy and I, get covered with a towel and warm up. . .

A Day at the Farm July 1, 2013
We went to my parent's farm to celebrate my mom's birthday. Hope and Gabs were super excited to be able to ride the horse and snuggle the dogs there! They have always loved animals!!! Here are some pictures and a video from the day. . .

School's Out!!! June 21, 2013
This is an old post but I thought I'd still share it. . .
School finished up towards the end of June. Bearspaw Christian School held their annual elementary awards night, which we took both our girlies too. It was a sweet night to thank our dear teachers that have poured into our children over these past months. Here are a couple pictures and a video from that night. . .

Hope's Spelling Test
Hope and Gabi love to play school! They always have! So it's very fun to see them starting to be able to do that somewhat again with Hope's continued recovery by God's grace!
We have shared that Hope's memory has really started to return. Here in this video taken early June, she applies some memory but also shows the comprehension and new learning required to start spelling words again! Isn't God's power and mercy so very great!!! June marked some exciting advances in Hope's ability to start doing academic work at school. And although school is now out, we are hopeful and eager for what The Lord will continue to do in Hope this fall when school starts again and a plan to start some academic goals begins!
Hope you enjoy seeing answered prayers in this video. . . prayers for Hope and Gabi to continue to find more ways to interact and prayers for Hope's continued recovery! All praise to the One who is able!!! God is great and greatly to be praised!!!
You are loved!!!
