To Bring Nyah Home

Surgery---Take 3

Jeremy will be having his 3rd knee surgery on July 9th. His most recent ACL repair did not take. This means that we will have to use a cadaver graph to fix his knee. Unfortunately, this means that he will have to start over with the 9 month recovery time. Please keep him in your prayers. This is very hard and discouraging for him.

So, we are bad parents. We didn't need to worry about our older kid's teeth until they were much older. Apparently, Chinese kids, from China, tend to have bad teeth due to the environment in orphanages, formula and sharing of bottles. This has proven true with our girls. Both have serious cavities and will be getting medicated next week to fix their teeth. They will then have to go every 2 months for teeth strengthening stuff, to be put on their teeth. Wish we had taken them right away when we adopted them. Could have prevented some of the trauma.

Family target shooting. Doesn't every family do this? Or... is this a north Idaho redneck thing. :)

Jordan and Eric went fishing. Unfortunately, Jordan fell in and was sopping wet to her stomach. We then had to go home. Very funny but cute! :)

Jeremy Baptizes His Friend Tyler Orth

We are so proud of Jeremy. He led his friend T. O. to the Lord and baptized him. We were so proud of Tyler and Jeremy.

Girls Trip To California

Jordan and Melody flew to California to stay with Melody's sister Angela. Unfortunately, before we could even leave the airport we had to stay in the plane for 3 hours. There was a plumbing problem. We then landed in Phoenix Arizona and had to literally run through the airport to get to the next flight. Thankfully we made it. Jordan thought that was so great, like a movie. I thought it was awful! I am so out of shape and I did not appreciate the stress. :)

We then got to see both Stephen and Sophia play baseball. Baseball is a favorite pass time for the Richardson family. Sophia is so intense and wants to play perfectly. She is only 5, so it is soooo funny to see.
