This past weekend, I cleared my schedule in order to visit my sister and her kids. My mom and I arrived in Warrensburg late Friday night. Unfortunately, about forty-five minutes later, my sister and I were sitting in the ER with year 5.5 month old. Little Julia Ann has been in Children's Mercy in Kansas City ever since. She has a viral lung infection that she just can't seem to kick. She is a happy girl and really hasn't cried much, considering her condition. Julia came into this world two and a halfs months earlier than she was scheduled to and has had to endure so much already in her life. She is a little fighter, and I'm sure she'll be just fine. It is hard on her big brother, Gavin (3.5 years) to see her in the hospital so often. He is such a good boy and really handles the situation well. It worked out so well that Mom and I were there to play with Gavin so that he didn't have to sit at the hospital again. We had a wonderful time playing t-ball, golf and going for walks. He kept saying, "Achole, I missed you so much!" If that didn't just melt my heart! We had intended to take portraits of the kids, but due to circumstances, never got to it. I did manage to catch a few of my Gavin while we played ball. I miss them all so much already and just can't wait to see them again!
