I haven't been posting this week because we haven't been doing anything unique or exciting...just the daily routine! I took this picture yesterday afternoon at the Escalante home. We traveled to Vinton for the first time since Vivian was born. I am ashamed of myself...I love these children and the families that I used to work with, but I haven't taken the time to go see them! We're going to try and do better... Vivian had a great time. She especially loved playing with Michelle (youngest girl). Anything Michelle did made Vivian laugh. It was precious. It was a great thing to catch up with this family and ask the kids how they were doing in school. They have grown so much in the past 7 months! I love them dearly.
This was taken in June when they came to see us in the hospital.This was from Sept. 2007 when their youngest Braulio was born. He is such a big kid now! And so sweet...

Now, the sad news of the day is that Vivian is sick for the first time. She woke up this morning with 102.9 fever! She took some Tylenol and we went to the doctor around 11. It's not as bad as it could be...just a cold. But she's so pitiful and sad...this morning she just laid on my shoulder for an hour while I sang and read to her. She's really sleepy, too...she fell asleep in my arms in the waiting room, something that would never happen normally! It's breaking my heart, but she should be feverless in a few days, and all better in about a week. I knew this would happen eventually, and I'm glad it didn't happen sooner, but it's still hard to watch. Thank the Lord for his faithfulness!
