Fun at the gym!!

Emily had her cheer camp in the gym on post!!! So, after the camp was over, it was time to play....The gym has an obstacle course complete with tires to run through, ropes to climb, a dangling ladder to climb, monkey bars, chin up bars, balance beams and a rock climbing wall--a total kids paradise! In this picture she is on a balance beam that is in the air about 8-9 feet. She had no problems walking across!! (There is net just in case!) I thought it was a cool shot looking up at her!
On the other side of the gym, they have a boxing ring! As you can see my little man is schooling another little boy on how to hit focus mitts! He must be the gym's new combatives instructor! He had better not get to used to this being in the ring thing!! This is one thing that mom just couldn't handle!!
An update on Shane...... we got some good news on Friday!! We are going to be leaving soon to go down to Seattle for an evaluation to get a spinal cord stimulator!! I have been fighting everyday for this since March, but actually talking with a person down there for about 5 weeks now!!! So, when they called on Friday and said that we are to go this week, I was ecstatic!!! I finally feel like things are getting done!! But, with the Army, until we get on that plane, I won't believe it!! Keep praying, I can see God working!!

Wow you sure have a busy life, but you are young. I am happy for you guys that you are finally getting some help for Shane. I hope and pray he gets the best doctors they have and they can make him as good as new.

You and Shane were on my mind yesterday. Our new preacher was preaching about how Christains suffer. He talked about the trails and tribulations God uses to teach us and grow us. You have shown such strengh and patience with your situation that you have been an inspiration. Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers always!
