One down...

Brooklyn is officially on summer vacation! Woohoo! I was able to take her back to school and pick her up (Olivia behaved - the prayers worked!!) I'm back at the hospital now.
They decided not to turn Olivia over to her belly - why rock the boat. They did, however, turn her head the other direction. She did okay with that - she's still recovering from it. She's also had a few temps today, but is still handling things relatively well. Now we just need to get Jack done with school....6 more days. We had the moving company come in today to do an estimate and we are actually all set to close on the Dunlap house on June 15. The mover said they could have us in on the 17th or 18th! It will be so exciting to have both kids here! Oh, and Zac, too. (just kidding, of course)
We are praying for a quiet night. The kids are really excited to come see Olivia tomorrow and start working on their scrapbooks!

I had pulled into in my driveway and was listening to Matt Redmond "You never Let Go" praying for Olivia, when a thought hit me...I looked at the clock it was 9:17pm and I wondered how many other people were praying for Olivia at that very moment. Julie, thank you so much for sharing this journey with all of us, Olivia continues to touch so many, many lives. Olivia, you, Zac, Brooklyn & Jack have shown all of us who follow you blog or are blessed enough to be family that strength comes in so many sizes and so many ways. That the greatest strength is in leaning on Gods strength. We are praying for you, thinking about you and sending our love.

Congratulations Brooklyn! You are on your way to Kindergarten now! It's hard to believe how big you've gotten! We're so proud of you for being such an amazing little girl when there has been so much going on in your family! I can't wait to tell Emma and Abby how much you love HSM. They adore that movie and have all kinds of "treasures" that go with it :)

Great job Brooklyn - on to big girl school you go! Kindergarten will be a blast! Jack - only 6 more days before you move up a grade, too :) Julie and Zac, you have 3 amazing kiddos. You are great parents! Praying for a "quiet" weekend for you and the kids. The scrapbooking is such a wonderful idea to help Brooklyn and Jack recreate good memories of their amazing baby sister. You really have no idea how many people have been affected by Olivia's spirt. So many people who do not even know your family are praying for you. The next days will be difficult, but your faith in God our Father will give you peace. Olivia is now hampered by health problems, but God will see her pain and physical problems dissolve and she will be FREE fromthe limitations she now has -- imagine her as a baby angel running, playing, and laughing with her heavenly family...
