St. Jude with the grands!

We recently went back to St. Jude for my son Jordan’s six month check up.

He is the handsome young man sitting there in the middle of our two precious granddaughters.  Jordan is a brain tumor survivor.

There are always lots of fun things happening at St. Jude.  While we were in between clinic appointments a juggler came to entertain the kids.

We got a great report that Jordan’s tumor has remained stable, which made this visit a wonderful time to celebrate the good news!

We wanted to take our grandchildren so they could see all the amazing things St. Jude does to care for the children that come to the hospital with life threating diseases.

One evening we went to the mall with the girls and they got to make a Build-a-Bear.  Oh my…they were in heaven.  “Now, if I could only decide which one to choose?”

Here’s our little Karli pumping up her bear!

Finally, they were all groomed and dressed, and we were off to have some more fun!

Cole was patient while the girls did their thing, but now he was ready to do some high jumping on the trampoline.

Up, up and away they went.  Talk about fun…

We are so blessed to have these amazing gifts from God in our lives!

The next day we went to the Memphis Zoo.  The weather was picture perfect!  Oh, no….looks like we spotted three ferocious bears!

And then I saw this beautiful little monkey! I think I’ll just take her home with me.

 

 

There are just no word to express the joy we have as grandparents.  These little ones have truly filled a special place in our hearts.
