Praying for a Miracle for our friend Grant

It has been a hard weekend as we found out on Friday that one of Zach's best buddies is very sick. Our neighbor, Grant has a tumor on the stem of his brain; Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). This is inoperable but not unprayable (is that a word). Grant goes in for radiation tomorrow. He is 6 years old and has been a part of our daily life for the last 4 years. Zach looks up to him and he loves Zach. Here are some pictures from earlier this month and a good one from the 4th of July parade. Please include him, his parents and the twins in your prayers and thoughts. We love you Grant and are praying for a miracle!

The Horn on the Bus...goes beep, beep beep!

Zach loves that Molly is now old enough to play more with him. He kept saying "Molly sit right here"...after she was in position, he started loading his toys in the bus with her.

The jump-o-line is BACK!

Neighbors ROCK!

We love our neighbors! Zach can't decide which Steensland is his best buddy...guess they all can be...the best part is the feelings are mutual.

Zach had a great time with all the neighborhood kids...especially the Steensland's.

He is two going on...4...or 6

The only time I want to see him in the back of a police car...

More Sprinkler Fun

Zach's sprinkler was a hit with all the neighborhood kids...it ended up with a sprinkler party with the Steensland & Martin kids. This is what summer is for...fun in the SUN!!

Hanging like a monkey

Legal to Drive?

Zach wanted to get in my car and told me to sit here. When I asked him where he was going, he told me he was driving to Florida. Not a chance either of us would survive a car ride that long but it was fun to play while in the driveway!
