All good things!

Hey all, so much fun stuff to share!
1. I am doing a therapeutic experiment with Sophie using Kinesiotape for scar softening and smoothing.  She is on her second application on the leg.  If this proves very successful I know a lot of nevus parents that will be very happy! I will keep you posted!


2. Next we went to the 1st (Hopefully now annual) Michigan (and as far as Pennsylvania and Ontario) Nevus Family Get Together! We went to an indoor waterpark near Detroit and it was so much fun.  We had 10 families and our girls were in the water for 8 hrs straight, it was amazing.  So nice to be somewhere and be with people who understand some of your biggest struggles in a way that no one else does.  Also, as parents that sometimes worry about what people are thinking, not so many strange looks when it was practically the norm to have spots at the hotel that day! Here are some of our best shots!
 Grace and Sophie got to see Addyson again who we met last year, they insisted she sit with us even though she had a lot of extended family with them. Very cute!

 Kathy and Emily, our Nevus adults at the party, we were thrilled to meet them!

Daddy and Sophie taken on the slide!
 Striking a pose!



Madeline, Addyson and Sophie, 3 nevus Michiganders all within 6 months of eachother, amazing!
9 of 10 of the nevus owners that made the get together (Madeline was having a shy moment!)

All the families together


 Too much fun! They were water babies, all day long they splashed and slid and swam and splashed some more!
It was such a blessing to me!!! God has been revealing to me all the blessings through the trials we have been through, to get to know some amazing people I never would have met if God hadn't given Sophie this extra unique feature!

3. Today we did another race for Helen Devos Children's Hospital.  Two things I am bummed about, we only had half as many people that we had last year. And....we didn't get a group picture this year!!! Bummer.  We did get some great shots though....
Our beloved Miss Sara and Aunt/Uncle/Cousins Baum all ran the 5k!!! They did so awesome!

 Gracie had her BFF there!

Fairly sure this is almost identical to last years picture!


Sophie and her cousin Brandon love each other!

Little cheering section!

I am not sure Sophie realizes yet how awesome it is to have so many people who love her! Glad I can show her this someday! Good day Team Sophie! Our blessings run over. 

John 1:16 From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.
