Family~

• I finally updated Izzy’s blog :o).
• We enjoyed the fourth of July!
• Matt’s best friend from high school (& his family) showed up unannounced today and spent the afternoon visiting and catching up. They hadn’t spoken in four years… they didn’t know about Izzy’s accident.
• We are expecting GREAT things for Izzy! EXPECTING.

…he [Jesus] was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53:5

• We’ve been working Izzy really hard this week, lots of therapy, lots of standing, she’s a trooper! Swimming is great for her, so after our visitors left…

Kitchen~

• I made the BEST fettucine alfredo with artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and grilled chicken (and garlic) I have ever had in my life! YUM. It wasn’t diet food, but I didn’t eat a lot of it!
• I posted my recipe for spinach dip that I made for the fourth of July here.
• Cleaned out the new fridge today! It still looks new, yea!
