Anna is loving the swimming this summer. Between her grandparents pool and swim practice, she goes very often. She was a little skiddish at first, but after about a week, she asks everyday to go swimming. The swimming is also good therapy for her legs.
Which last Friday she went back for another procedure- an MRI of her full spine, under anesthesia AGAIN! So tired of that, cause she gets so sick and then runs a fever. Good news is- NO spinal abnormality. They were ruling out spina bifida or tethered cord. But, they did find a small anomaly with the lower part of her brain, that normally goes undetected in most people, but since they did the MRI, they saw hers. It is called a Chiari Malformation I. It is considered the least severe of the 4 kinds, and normally does not require any surgery or anything, just monitoring. So we will continue to do physical therapy and try building up those toothpicks for legs she has.
We have spent the past couple of months at the ballfield, several nights a week and also on the weekends for Zachary's baseball. Anna has learned what the concession stand is and wants to go often, and here is Papaw taking her. She says, "Give me money".

Chillin!
Anna and Dad fixing to get ready for July 4th fireworks.
Anna had a great time with the sparklers and loved waving them around. After all, pretty much all the fireworks are made in China. :)

Wow....Anna is growing up so fast. She looks so adorable in all her individual and family pictures. I especially like her star sunglasses. Anna has a beautiful smile and really fits right into your family. I know you and Mickey are doing a great job as parents. May the Lord continue to bless you and give you wisdom as you raise and train all your kids. We so much enjoyed our lunch with you while we were visiting Tennessee last winter. It was great to see you again and meet Anna for the first time. Blessings- Ginger Johnson
