We stayed a bit at the campsite this AM, so Pearce could get wiggles out before turning around for the hour long drive home. We helped the girls set up their tents. Pearce really thought she was helping. And she followed all the girls around. It was cute. And the girls are so sweet to her and included her. I really appreciate that. On the way home, she said she "wants to be 12 and go to girls camp." Someday sweetheart, but please don't grow up too fast.
Jeremy received the doctor comments from the MRI, and unfortunately we did NOT learn anything new from it. :-( Spine shows mild disc bulging that mildly compresses on spinal cord. Radiologist significance of this finding is uncertain. And recommended to continue to monitor, physical therapy as needed, and spine specialist evaluation as needed. So, we (Jeremy) are trying to stay positive and focus on any good. That he at least feels about 30% better than he did 6 weeks ago when this began. We'll (Jeremy) be patient, and take this one day, one week at a time, and pray for a full recovery. Thanks again for your prayers, too. :-)

i love that first photo of her... you can tell she's running so fast. Ruby always tries to run as hard as she can and it always scares the crap out of me cause more often than not she ends up tripping and hurting herself. Funny about the girl talk in the car--P seems so smart! And social!
Ugh! so sorry the MRI results weren't more conclusive. Sending hugs your way!! Hope things look up soon:)
What a sweet post! Pearce wants so badly to be in with the 12's. :) hahaha She'll have her day at girls camp soon enough. I'm glad they were sweet to her.
So sorry to hear the MRI didn't help. It was good to talk to J last night. I'll keep him in my prayers and hope for a speedy recovery!!
Hey Em-- no problem... I am no pro at shooting in noon day light, and have a lot to learn, but these were my settings for most of the shots: f2.8 1/5000 (and some pics 1/8000, ISO 200. I used to expose for the face and make the face bright, but in sunny pics that completely blew out the background of the pic.. Now I feel it's ok to have shadows on the face and make the face darker, because it showcases backlit lighting more, brings out more detail in the landscaping, etc. The first few pics of Mary in the bowl, I had Hilary stand right next to me, to shade Mary's face from the sun, and give it softer light... that's why those first few pics aren't really centered, b/c it was tricky... Had I moved my position to center the subject, I would have ran into Hilary who was shading Mary right next to me:) haha. Shooting in the sun is hard. I much prefer overcast skies, or morning or evening-sun-setting light. Hope that helps a little? Shooting RAW helps a ton because I can adjust exposure afterward in Adobe Camera Raw Editor if they don't look the way that I want them to.
i love it! so fun that you get to be with the young women. i bet pearce LOVES it, and i'm sure the girls love HER, too. :) i could have sworn i already commented on this post, though. we will keep jeremy in our prayers. i really hope he is not in pain for too much longer.
Pearce seems like such a ham! She is so cute! I wish I could meet her one day. And I'm sorry about Jeremy. That sounds so awful and painful. Prayers for him and your family.

I love this and I love how sweet the girls are to Pearce! Eleanor hated going to YW, but Penelope loved it. Hope that's not an indication that Eleanor will be a troubled teen hahaha. I loved going up to girl's camp with my YW, it is so peaceful and so nice to see the girls be friends outside of church and realize what good values all these girls have, makes me so impressed/happy every time I think about it :)
