A few pics and an update on Anderson

Well, five shots were too many for our sweet boy. He has been running a fever over 101 (even with Motrin) since last night. He did not sleep well and seemed to ache all over.  He would flinch just when we hugged him or touched his arms or legs. He did eat breakfast this morning, but then proceeded to get rid of it all via vomiting. So, Jeff took the big kids out for the day and I stayed at the hotel with the little guy to try to help him rest. He kept down some food at lunch and took a bottle, and that allowed him to sleep for a couple of hours.  About an hour ago, he woke up with a greatly reduced fever and he seems to be feeling better. Please pray for his breathing, as the shots have aggravated his congestion and we now have to give him liquid albuterol three times a day.  I know he is going to be fine, but he has had a rough day.  So, we greatly appreciate your prayers for his health. 

I am posting a few pictures of the big kids on their outing today and a few random ones I haven't posted yet. I also ask that when you pray for our family, you pray for a sweet little boy named Sterling Davis, who had surgery for his benign brain tumor on August 24th and 25th, and for his family. You can learn more about his story by clicking here.  I went to college with Sterling's mom and uncle, and we are praying fervently for Sterling and for his vision to be spared. 

Thanks again for all of your prayers and encouragement!
