And now for something completly different

Holy cow it's the end of July! Man time flys when your having fun, playing with family and taking your kids to a ton of doctors. I figured that i would try to catch all of you up on what has all been going on here on Miller Lane. Anyway for starters Brenix has grown 3 inches and now is only 5 lbs less then his sister that is 2 years older then him. Lets just say that he now has no problems eating at all.

Then there was the Coleman Family Reunion...hosted by the lovely Aunt Michele (who i hope likes my pic of her) and her husband the always charming Uncle Dave. We laughed, we cryed, but we mostly ate and ate and ate.


And then there was a small accident. While we were up camping at the Coleman ranch, MaKayla fell backwards into the camp fire. Luckily she had a guardian angle that day in the form of our cousin Vaughn . He was pulling her out of the fire as she was falling in. Even though his actions were fast the damage was done. Mak's back was the worst with 2nd and 3rd degree burns (sorry for the naked bum pics but it was the only way to show what it looked like.) But there has been no need for a skin graphed yet.



Her right arm had 1st and 2nd degree burns and doesn't look all that hot either. But she's a trooper.


These pics are a couple weeks old now, and let me tell ya both her back and arm are looking sooooo much better. We still have to change her bandages 3 times a day, but she gets to pic a different color of tape to go on top every time...so Mak doesn't mind too much. The pain is going down and she is slowly getting back to her normal self. We just have to be careful of what she does for the rest of the summer. No swimming, playing in the dirt, and for now no parks. But she's home and in good spirits...and a very very lucky little girl. Thanks to all of you who have been calling and supporting Mak and us. I know that your prayers are what has been helping Mak to heal so quickly.
