I love our neighbors. Last month all of the ladies on the street gathered to celebrate the births of Audrey and Neil, a neighbor's baby that was born three days before her. When we first moved in there were only three little girls that lived two doors down. Now we have little Cali next door, Qwen and Kayden across the street, and Neil in the old firehouse. It's fun to watch these families grow and we are thankful for their new friendships.
I really enjoyed my time with these ladies. I was overwhelmed by their willingness to give up their Saturday evening to meet Audrey and Neil and celebrate these little lives.
Sweet little Cali joined us that evening and I would love to tell you a bit about her. She was born in January with heart problems (I'd love to explain, but I honestly wouldn't do a good job). She also swallowed a large amount of meconium during birth, damaging her lungs. She has been through many surgeries since she was born and she's in the hospital recovering from her latest heart surgery right now. Her mom says that she's doing better and is recovering well, but she'll probably be in the hospital for a few more weeks. If you think about it, pray that she continues to heal and that her little heart and lungs heal perfectly.

Oh, that sweet baby. Praying for her and her parents. Such a challenge I can only imagine. Is Audrey screaming in that last picture?
