I can walk all by my BIG self!

Tomorrow, bright and early, Johnny, John's dad, goes in to have the cancer removed on his right lung. We pray that the surgeon will be guided by the Holy Spirit, that he will be able to get all the cancer, and the recovery will be much shorter and less painful than last time.
Turner adores his Grandpa!
Grandma Rose and her grandchildren and great grandchildren (only missing Aunt CC who was busy getting her classroom ready for school)

Turner's officially walking all by himself. This Saturday, August 8, 2009, my little love bug took his 1st steps! I was napping when it happened and I didn't believe Lolly when she told me...so she had Turner show off again and in fact, he took 4 little steps all by his big self!


Since Saturday, Turner has taken several more steps. This evening he took 10 baby steps...ever so careful! He gets so excited because we are cheering and wants to join in on the fun so he starts clapping which causes him to loose his balance. It's the cutest thing ever!


This weekend we made a fast dash to Perryton to see Lolly & Pops and Grandma Rose. Please say extra special prayers for Grandma Rose as her current chemo is not responding well and she begins an experimental chemo next Monday.
We pray that Jesus would satisfy all her needs during the treatment process that can seem like a sun- scorched land. We pray that Jesus would strengthen her weakened frame and that she would be refreshed by his presence like a well-watered garden whose spring never fail
(Isaiah 58:11)


Celebrating after walking!

Turner loves to push his toys around the house. He has even started steering his walker


Pushing around his airplane :)

We enjoyed each and every minute this weekend. It just goes by way to fast. Next time Turner will be all over the place and into everything, I can't wait. The pic's are just precious of Grams and her Great Grand children. I can see why they are all so beautiful, look at their Great Grandma. See you in a couple of weeks. Lolly

Beautiful pics. I stand in agreement with you that your father in law has a successful procedure and is delivered.
