She said my foot was too swollen and the docotr should have not let me come back. so im waiting to get it re-exrayed. It's just not my week!!!! Thank you for the prayers though, It was just sooooo sweet!

Wendi, they're all so very cute! I love how Tatiana just jumped right into a prayer with very little prompting. Her prayer was so engaging to human ears and you have to imagine how very pleased our Father is to hear her sweet voice speak.; 28 August, 2008
