the smell of rain

i so love the smell of rain. in many ways i wish that my four legged friend myka and could have our evening walk and be soaked with it. a few weeks ago when we were on a walk as a family, we were hit with a flash flood. all soaked to the bone. as jereme and i took turns running the kids home in the wagon, squeels of delight and laughter filled the air. skylar burst out "o-my goodness, this is FUN!" and it was. but tonight and the next 6, leave us solo parenting. jer is off coaching the u21 team for worlds ( visit www.2008worlds.com) so myka is missing her late night walk. How was calgary you may wonder? well we are impressed. we are seeing results already, though we will have to go for more treatments and there is alot of follow up steps that i am ultimatly responsible for, i am confident that if i am vigilant in prayer, and do the work, that the two will work together to = success.
these are my favorite 2 photos of our girl from the trip.

thanks for the prayers keep 'em coming.

prayers for the alternative

ahh... So we will venture to calgary to have a meeting with a wholistic practitioner who is confident that she can help our skylars eczema. Prayer for the whole situation is greatly appreciated. We are counting on a miracle and we know that can only truly come from God.

trying it out

timber and i are just sitting here in the muggy heat and checking out friends blogs. and we thought, 'we should try this out.' i am not the most computer savy momma, but maybe that won't matter much. and in an honest moment, this photo is about 6 weeks old, but it is of timber and i. :)
