It's been a trying week with my back. Our family really helped us get through - my dad came out two days to be with Emerson, my mil dropped off groceries, my Auntie came to play, and Josh was able to come home for lunch sometimes and leave work a few hours early other days.

Today I was able to sit for short periods of time and that small step is a huge leap in healing for me. Praise God.

Despite all things Emerson continues to be happy, busy, and joyous. The other day she repeated after me (in a somewhat garbled way), "Jesus, I love you. AMEN!' I just about died right then and there. My blessing.
