Sunday Snapshot

Every Sunday, I am going to try to post a "Sunday Snapshot" where I focus on just one of our kids, so you can all get a glimpse of them and what they are doing in their life at that time.  I thought this would be a great way to be sure that each child has a day just for them--since we have so many children these days!  I know it is Tuesday and not Sunday, but to say that things have been a little busy would be a HUGE understatement!  When I logged into our blog today and looked at our "ticker" on the side and read that it said "9 days Until We Leave For China!" I was just completely shocked!  I can't believe it is almost time to go get our Jax!  We really should start packing don't you think?!

So, back to our Sunday Snapshot!  This past Sunday I wanted to highlight our oldest daughter Mikayla, who I can't believe will be Sweet Sixteen in May!!  It is so hard to believe...that "I" could be that old :)  Mikayla is a wonderful daughter, sister, and friend to all who know her and don't know her!  She is kind, giving, patient, funny, intelligent, beautiful, and just an all around great kid!  Who would have thought that this premature, 1 pound 12 ounce baby, who once looked like an alien baby with ears that didn't fit her body, would grow up to be the "woman" I have described above!  We are so very proud of her! 

I wanted to focus on her this week, as she underwent her cataract surgery yesterday and she is doing very well.  Thank you to everyone who lifted her up in prayer--God is so good and she is recovering nicely.  We have an amazing doctor who operated on Ty's cataract a year ago and he has had awesome results!  We are hoping for the same for Mikayla.  Enjoy her fun snapshots!
