Great Weekend

Hello Everyone,

This was our first REAL weekend to explore the city because weekdays are too long and hard on Butch. Therapy is from 9-4 or 9-5 depending on music therapy days. Wouldn't it be great if he joined the choir after this journey? He can give God the glory and work on his therapy at the same time. I guess I better continue to pray on this wishful/prayful thought.

We had friends (Patrick and Kemi) to come to town for a conference this past weekend so we where able to go to dinner Thursday and Friday evening. Friday night in addition to dinner, we even went to a Jazz club called "The Back Room". It was so much fun. A group called "Double Shot" performed and they were really good. Our dinner choices for those two nights were delicious (pics below).

We would like to thank Nolan and Sadie for the perfect package. Gods timing is so perfect and on time. We were feeling a little down because we were missing everyone so badly and then this package arrived. It had a little of everything to left our spirits. No. please don't send anything. This is/was about Gods love, perfect timing, letting us know we are not alone and He's here ALL around us if we just open our hearts, mind and soul to receive Him.

Butch's endurance, strength and constant improvement in therapy has  continued to progress nicely. We are planning on continuing therapy when we return because we know this journey is a process and God will  continue to improve his speech even after this program ends.

Please continue to pray our strength and faith in the Lord in addition to patience, understanding and increased love for each other during this journey.

We love you all and we are counting the days before we return home. Enjoy the pictures :)

  1. I'm jealous that Kimmy and Pat got to come to Chicago. I wanna be there. Oh well, some Garrett popcorn will suffice. If you could email me some of that yummy caramel and cheddar mix, your Niecy-Pooh would be so happy. :) I love it. Miss y'all. Can't you tell *wink* ~Stephanie

  3. What an AWESOME God we serve! Sherron - it's been so uplifting reading your posts about how Butch is progressing. I can just READ the enthusiasm in your writing. If I EVER get back to Chicago (only been once in my life), I'm going to try some of those eating places you've talked about - they sound so good. Hang in there, y'all - we'll see you soon back at home. Prayers and Love!!! SueJ
