Out at the beach....

We went to the beach today. It was SO beautifully! It felt magical driving down the hill were we could see the water I felt a peace. I know that's God's creation and how he wants us to find joy and peace from what he made for us and the beach definitely did that for us Cotter's today....

This week has not been all that we expected, you can't tell from the sweet smiles or the fun we had today but it's been hard with Kait at home. She is now taking steroids five days a month and that started when we entered maintenance. About two days into the medication the hunger and frustration kicked in like crazy....




I think it really took us all by surprise. It's so hard to prepare your self for the unknown and especially with everyone responding differently to the steroids. I (Mommy) have been so tired and Daddy is not always sure what to do because Kaitlyn only wants me and sister Madeline gets a bit less attention and has to be supper flexible (and she great at that)....



I know a lot of this just takes time and getting use to the new phase but we could just use some prayer for the adjustment. We feel so blessed by all our dear friends and we were so bummed to miss church this week! With the ups and downs in Kaitlyn's emotions we didn't think it would be good to push it to much.


Please pray for strength for me I've been getting tired at a time I felt like I would be up and running....discouraging since that's not usually me. My worrying has reached and all new high and it's the same with Daddy....so many questions about how is she? Is this going to be ok? Will she make it smoothly? Will we end up back in the hospital? Is her body holding up? Is she looking ok physically? She seems tired should we be doing something more?.... the list is endless and that makes it hard to relax. We know that our God has taken us so far but some times telling our emotions that can be another thing.....







We just celebrated our six year anniversary this last week on
top of it all. We tried sneaking out and it was small and simple but so nice to be together. It's so rare and precious to us! Please keep praying for our marriage too. We are so empty, Daddy (Eric) is working so hard for our family and has two jobs going. I can't say enough good things about how hard he works! For those of you who don't know he works for a photography company in Huntington Beach http://www.ericjweddings.com/ on nights and weekends and that business as you know is so big in the summer time and we are trying to hang as much as we can now before it gets going. We know we can make it but we SO appreciate all your support and prayers!

We love you all!!
