GO ANLON!!!!!!!!! So exciting to see him take a few steps. Bennett was watching. He pointed at the screen and said, "An-on!"

Looking forward to hearing about your time in Memphis.

Love you sweet friend!!

Beautiful photo of the tree over your patio! I love all of the sweet glimpses of God in this list. I'm so glad Anlon did well on the trip. I've been praying so much for you all. I love the photo of me and Anlon - I'll need a copy of that. :)
