The Kids!

Brady and Hailey have had a whirlwind of a summer. They visited Sea World and the San Diego beaches, hung out in Mexico at Uncle Matt & Auntie Erin's with family and friends, visited their Great Grandpa (Robynn's Grandpa) Bob Brady in Southern California, made a trip to Magic Mountain, had sleep overs with Mum-Mum &Papa & Auntie, Tim & their cousins, and had multiple visits from Mimi, Enni, Uncle Derek,the Harkers, and Ms. S. And for those who don't know, we moved back to Bakersfield, right down the street from their Mum-mum & Papa and only a couple miles from Auntie.

On the negative side, Hailey did fracture her radius and growth plate in her left and has been in a splint or cast nearly all summer. She goes back to the doctor to get her 2nd cast off and see how the growth plate fracture is healing (so far not so well). If it is not progressing properly we will have to see an orthopedic surgeon. I pray this is not the case and we see the results we need during Tuesdays doctor visit. I'll keep you all posted on the results.

Lastly, I want to thank you all for your continued prayers and support for my family and so many others. You all continue to amaze and I consider myself extremely blessed by you. Despite the kids enjoying their summer, it has been extremely difficult on them both to not be able to spend these special times with with their mom. I know your prayers and encouragement has given me the strength and guidance to nurture and support them when it is every bit as difficult a time for me.

God Bless You All!

Hey there friends ~ thank you for your honesty in what's been happening in your lives these days. Continue to stand. We know all these firsts are tough, but we also believe that Robynn and our Lord are with you every step of the way. We know Robynn is so proud of all of you. (We are too!)

Oh Brian,
You are an amazing father. Those two are so lucky to have you. I know how difficult it must be to watch them living life without their mommy...as I am finding so much difficulty watching Spencer and Mason experience things that Kelly just would so want to be a part of. There is just this big , HUGE void. And though these times are so difficult, it is the innocence of these wonderful children that helps get us through...even though we are choking back so many tears it seems. We think about you guys so much and would really like to get the kids together for some good fun and bonding. They have a connection, not one that anyone would want, but maybe they could find some sort of comfort in spending time together. We love you guys and look forward to seeing you real soon.
God Bless.
B.
