The conference days flew by fast . . . but we all enjoyed time with old friends and meeting new ones also. This "family" of ours is a vital part of our life and we feel blessed to be able to experience this conference each year. Here are some pictures of our NFED friends.

Our extended time before and after the conference provided us with many lasting memories.
We are now preparing for another trip to Houston, Texas this weekend. One of the doctors that we love from the Scientific Advisory Board at the NFED is an eye doctor who practices in Houston. He had discussed many different tests to be done to help determine what the real "cause" of goopy eyes is and then be able to treat the exact problem. We are headed down there to have these tests done on both Tyler and Grant. We chose this weekend because our friends, the Hamms, are having the 2nd Annual Zach Hamm Golf Tournament for the NFED this weekend and we had wanted to go. Being able to coincide the doctors appointments and the tournament made it a doable trip. So, we're headed out again on Thursday, driving to Dallas and hopefully seeing some friends there, then traveling on to Houston on Friday. Doctors appointments in the afternoon on Friday, then enjoying more time with our friends the Hamms. We'll be there Saturday and Sunday and will be able to help get things "set up" for the tournament. Then the tournament is Sunday afternoon, and then we'll make the BIG trek all the way home on Monday. Please keep us in your prayers as we will be driving many miles, and also that the doctors will be able to help us figure out exactly what the best solution is to help Tyler and Grant with their eye issues. For Grant, that has one of the toughest things, always having his eyes stuck shut when he wakes up. We are just praying for some answers to help make this issue easier.
