Update on Aubrie....

We had our one month eye Dr. visit today.. and Praise God.. her eye is FINALLY responding !!

her eye has improved from a 20/400 to 20/200... this is the first sign of the eye responding since we started patching 3 months ago.

The doctor wants us to keep patching full time, she says she thinks the eye is right on the verge of making drastic improvement !! We go back in two months, right before Christmas... The doctor is also allowing Aubrie to go back into gymnastics and even play basketball this fall...

I just know God has great plans for the complete healing of her eye and for her to share her faith later on because of this special journey He has her on at such a young age !!

She is taking the news of more patching in stride.. she knows it has to be done... I know she was happy when we heard there was some improvement... b/c she has been working SO hard !!

Thank you for your continued prayers for Aubrie, and we ask that you keep her in your prayers for the next two months.

(wouldn't that be an AMAZING Christmas present.... )

Katy Rice Festival 10-11-08

so after the Aggie game we took the kids to the Katy Rice Harvest Festival.. we were so tired.. but the kids wanted to ride some rides.. so off we went..

Payton and Nick

this picture accurately shows just how fast this ride went.. I was not quiet prepared for this, but I was not going to let Aubrie ride it with a stranger her first time on a big ride.. I instantly felt dizzy and my stomach dropped... and I love roller coasters.. .but not this one... haha

you can kinda see us in the bottom left corner of the picture.. Aubrie with her mouth wide open.. b/c she was screaming with delight the entire ride !! And if the ride wasnt enough for her.. she also had her hands up and kicking her feet back and forth to add to the excitement !! No doubt she could do roller coasters in a theme park.. even the loop ones !! thats my girl !!

Mia was there too.. she was not quite tall enough to ride the rides, but this night she had a different gift.. winning... Mark showed her how to play the dart game and she was off.. she won 4 animals !! Go Mia !!

last ride of the night.. Nick, Aubrie and Payton

they loved all the rides and I am a proud mom.. no longer needing to seek out all the kiddie rides.. my kiddos have moved up in their ride experience !! It was a blast to watch them be big kids and have so much fun !!
