The Ronald McDonald House
When we go to Children's Medical Center in Dallas, we are blessed to stay at the Ronald McDonald House which is about 1 minute away from the hospital. Every day groups who have volunteered fix the meals, they are always crowd pleasers. When we are there we always meet new people who are in the middle of health issues for their child who is either in the hospital or in town for follow up like we generally are now. It is fun to see the interaction of the children who have health struggles, they really have a bond. These pictures of my kids are in the side patio right off the kitchen and dining area. It is their favorite place to be. The picture of Jack and Sophie is in our room and they are settling down for the night watching a movie on our dvd player. They don't put TV's in the rooms everything is communal even the bathrooms. I am thankful for this ministry, if you are ever asked to donate time or money to Ronald McDonald House, know that it goes to a cause that helps families in the midst of crisis.

But -- how long has it been since I've seen Jack? He really IS getting a lot of hair! Okay! It's time for the pool to open if I don't recognize my friends' children anymore! :-)

Tammy, thanks so much for notifying us about the article in Wednesday's paper. It was in a bundle of pages that were mostly ads-- the part I usually cull before reading the paper-- and so I totally missed it! It's such a wonderful article-- the narrative, the photos, the excerpts from the blog. What a treasure! I'm sure your kids enjoyed appearing in the newspaper.
May God's blessings continue to strengthen, comfort, and heal you all.
Love, Gay
Grace to you.
