hi friends...enjoying a wet week in oklahoma! we will be praying for this in the summer!

emily is visiting the middle school today--i cannot believe it! it seems like yesterday that we put pink bows in her hair with karo syrup! she had her "camo" bag with her insulin & needles to take with her. apparently once you hit middle school you have the option of the "ala carte" line at lunch. i was quietly praying that she would take her lunch as she does every day with the calculated carbs on a post it note, but she wanted to do the "big girl" thing. please pray that it isn't frustrating for her! i know it sounds silly, but it really is somewhat labor intensive to know what she is eating & what the carbs are--those are the times that she gets frustrated. when everyone else is eating & she is still calculating...

we have raised $1000 for our walk already! i am so excited! we don't have too many actual walkers yet, but we still have a month. it is so cool to see so many supporting em! her shirt will be super cute....of course. our little fashionista :-)

em has her last volleyball games this weekend. she is a great server! she is bummed that it is already over, but is planning to jump back in when it starts up in the fall with a few friends who play club volleyball. we are moving on to tennis lessons next....probably after school is out. so proud of her for keeping up the activities!

have a great weekend :-)

p.s. emily's sweet friend & classmate, claire leffingwell is a cancer survivor. she had cancer in her leg when she was little. she fell down some stairs yesterday & broke that leg & is at children's in okc awaiting surgery. will you include her in your prayers today?
