The next day, John and I met with the doctor who said that her levels were much better, so they weren't concerned anymore about them. However (I always hate it when they say this), they found a heart murmur when they were checking her. My heart dropped- Everything in the next day is kind of blurry. We met with doctors, and they said that they were *probably* holes that had not shut properly, and would *probably* resolve themselves without treatment. But. It could also be a dysfunctional heart with surgery in the future-and a transplant down the road-with a very sick little girl. They would do an echocardiogram in the morning to determine what it was. Our families flooded to the hospital, and I felt their love and support in so many different ways, and I am so thankful for all of them. In my room that night after everyone left, though, I realized that God is the only One who can meet all of our needs. Only He can comfort us deep within. Yes, he blesses us with family and friends who are his hands and feet in doing this, but when it comes down to it, God alone fills all of the holes that are left. His grace is sufficient for every need. I was reading in my Bible this morning, and these verses stuck out to me, and I wrote them down. "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning, Great is Your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him" -Lamentations 3:22-24 That night, I turned Gwyneth over to God, and put my full trust in Him. The rest of this story is that they were sort-of normal holes that usually resolve on their own without treatment, and they did within 2-1/2 weeks! Praise God! But, I think of so many times that these stories don't turn out this way, and when they don't it is great to know that through the Lord' s mercies we are not consumed. God's compassions fail NOT! I think that God put me in that place so that I realize that He IS in control, and I CAN trust Him, for everything.
John helps with the 5th and 6th grade boys, and he even got to speak. Super, John! I am a secretary, and I took pictures tonight!
It's always bittersweet for the end of the Awana. It's nice to have the summer off, but we look forward to starting next fall. We celebrated a great year by going with Grandma Nancy to DQ! 
She is a very active little girl! (: She was all over the place, and loved exploring everything. This was actually better than I had imagined, because I got a lot of action shots! I have a feeling that with my three kids, I'd better perfect the action shots!!!
As you know, they are working on the road in front of our house. Yeah. Great times. Last night, John was out checking out our tall mailbox, and the kids had to go, too! They are lowering the street alot, obviously! The strip of dirt is going to be our new sidewalk. 
After supper, we went in the back yard and hung out. The kids got a wagon ride. This wagon is probably older than John, and came with the house (;
These pictures are from about 3 years ago, when Hutch was a little over a year old. (yes, they are in my cupboards!!)
Yesterday, Hutch had his Very First Dentist's Appointment. He did a great job and scored a totally cool fire truck toothbrush and a whole bunch of stuff (: Our dentist is in Decatur, and all of us went along for the ride, since Haydn had no school. We went to McDonald's for lunch, NOT for the great food, but because of the playland! The kids had a great time, as always, and I managed to snag a few pictures of them. 
This afternoon, I took the kids on a walk back to a woods. We had a lovely time together. We found some wild daffodils, so of course we had to pick some!
