Update June 7th

Well we have an official date for Shiyan's Heart Cath!. It will be done on July 17th. They had to delay it due to the Doctor's vacation. She will be in the procedure for about 3 hours if all goes well and will stay over night in the hospital for observation.

We have a real peace about this procedure and trust that God is totally in control. We really like our Cardiologist and trust her judgment.

We will get to take a trip home to visit family between now and then, it will be nice to get away as a family but I dread that drive with 5 kids. We are thankful that Andrew is such a great driver and will be able to help us.

The girls are doing great. Both Shiyan and Laura love going to the pool. We go every couple of days. Laura goes around like a little fish when she has her arm bands on. Shiyan likes to stay in a tube but loves the water as long as you keep her face dry. She does not like being splashed.
The girls also love going for walks with us pushing them in the double stroller. Robin and I really enjoy our evening walks but must admit that the humidity is starting to get the best of us.

The boys are enjoying summer. Andrew is very busy with work and his girl friend. The girls absolutely love his girl friend and hate it when she leaves. We like her a lot too. Aaron stays busy with work and just got another promotion to be a trainer (Congratulations Aaron). Stephen is a huge help with the girls.

Please continue to keep our family in your prayers. Pray that Shiyan gains weight and continues to get stronger. Pray that she starts talking more. Pray for her and Laura to get along and to continue to grow in their love as sisters.

Speaking of being sisters I bet we have answered a thousand times "Are they sisters?" My canned response is "They are now". Some of the more thick headed people then say "No I mean are they sisters by birth". To which I reply "No but does it really matter" It has amazed me how many more questions and stares we get now that we have two girls, we do tend to draw a bit of attention.

Well that is all for now. Every one have a great week, we will update soon.
