The little fella's gotten his first cast. When he was first born, everyone was saying he had a "club foot," but when we first went to the orthopedic department, they said they did not think so, but that we should just stretch his foot out. Well, the other day he saw a specialist, who was sure that his foot would need corrective casting and bracing. So, he'll have a new cast every week for the next 5 or so weeks, and then he'll also get a series of leg braces. Lord willing, this will be a real help. We got groceries tonight, and I can't tell you how many people stopped us to ask what happened to the little fella. We keep praying for good opportunities to glorify God.
Last week we had a couple of really nice "family days." On one of the rainy days we went to a mall with a great play-place and an ice skating rink. Daddy did not fall once, and actually got pretty fast. Hannah started slow, but by the end was skating out in the middle with a lot of confidence. She can't wait 'till the next time.

Hey thanks for the update! I couldn't believe how much Paton has grown since the last picture I saw of him! He's a really healthy little fella. Praise the Lord! I can't remember it but both my legs had to be casted when I was small like Paton. I also wore braces when I was about a year old for awhile. I cannot tell you how many times people(young and old) have approached me and asked what happened to me. It's great that you're using Paton's situation to glorify God. He is just the cutest little fella! I enjoyed seeing the video of Hannah as well. She can really skate! Take care and God bless all of you. Still praying for you here in Eden.
