Take Me Out

... to the ball game! Thanks, Joan, and Houston/Gulf Coast Spina Bifida Association, for the tickets to the Astros game tonight. (Unfortunately, we lost 4-0).

Paton and Paton

This is Paton Bray with his new friend Paton Ngian. Both are named after John Paton. The "other" Paton's the son of friends Ping & Melanie. Enjoyed a great time together today!

Paton's First Trip to the Sea

Our kids absolutely love the ocean. We were able to take a break and head down to Galveston for the day, a few weeks ago. Paton wasn't too sure about the splashing, but he loved watching his siblings!

Paton's Skateboard

Paton's had a series of three casts, and now he has specially designed boots and a leg brace to hold his feet in an outward position. The point of this is to help his left foot hold a normal shape eventually. He doesn't seem to mind too much. He is SUCH a good boy! And cute?!! Of course, Dad's not at all prejudiced. :) He goes in for doctors' visits every week or so. So far all is going well for his shunt. He actually seems to have quite a bit of leg movement right now. We'll see in time. But we are just SO thrilled that God's given the little fella to us!
