good morning friends...

i've heard from several of you that you are trying to be a "follower" of the blog & i so wish i could help! i think you have to create an "account" & when it brings up a mugshot pic & a bunch of random letters & numbers as your account name, just highlight & change the name to whatever you want it to be. if anyone can explain any better (i know that wouldn't be difficult!!!!), please feel free!

we have had our first "can't"--our kids go to kanakuk, which is a christian sports kamp in the lake of the ozarks. emily was going to go with one of her best friends from deer creek this year & they were SO excited to be in the same cabin, etc. so i called kanakuk to talk to the health services people about how we do kamp with diabetes & they have a rule that if you have been diagnosed within 9 months of kamp, you can't go. of course, i started bawling. i was just so not wanting to tell em! we have spent so many breaths on telling her that she can do everything she has ever done, but here we are! there are so many reasons that the kamp people are right--i don't want her in a cabin with 18-20 year old counselors who don't know anything about diabetes, in the middle of the woods, being in charge of em until em knows what her body is trying to tell her. that takes time...

i was so worried about telling her & of course, being em--she was like "that's okay, mom. i can go next year. can katelyn spend a week here with us instead?" blessings, blessings...

if anyone is in the wichita area tonight--be sure to go to the mercyme diabetes benefit concert! it is only $10 a person & all proceeds go to diabetes research!!!

praying you have a blessed Easter weekend! so thankful that we serve a Savior who would die for us & all of our ugly sins & defy death glorifying our Father--God is amazing! and He is leading little ole us through our new normal...

hoping, praying & believing in our RISEN SAVIOR,
julie
