We love to take advantage of Emmie appointments.  After all the stresses of doctors and tests, we get to drive through Atlanta traffic and hit a home haven with our family.  The kids gather around and have to tell us everything they have done with their aunt, cousins or one of the sets of their grandparents.

We really treasure this time and can feel the weight of all that Emmie is fighting just lift off of our shoulders.

And the kids get to be loved on and the grandparents get to laugh.  Sometimes a lot!

That smile of complete and utter childhood joy…ah!

Our family’s homes serve as a sweet release to what could otherwise be a very stressful time.  We definitely know what a blessing they all are to us.
