Boone is doing much better now.  He is responding well to the insulin and they are preparing to move him out of ICU to the hospital floor soon.  There they will monitor him and train his parents in the care of his diabetes.  The bacterial infection is no longer a concern, it was based on high white blood cell count, which may have been just his body's response to the diabetic emergency. 

Thank you for your prayers and please remember them as this is just the begining of a life-long "adventure" with this illness. 

We're looking forward to them hopefully heading home later this week.

Both boys were in swimming lessons for a week and had great fun.  This was Conrad's first year to jump off the diving board.  Josiah is just about fearless and runs off and does cannon balls.  He even convinced his teacher to stop catching him by the end. 

Here's Josiah:

And Conrad is somewhere in this splash:

Brenden pretty much never crawls anymore.  Once he figured out how to walk, he just went with it.  He walks barefoot, in shoes, on grass, sand, concrete, gravel, you name it.  He's one determined bugger.  His newest tricks for this week are saying, "uh oh" (which is so stinkin cute, we make him say it all the time!)  and throwing whatever he can find into the kitchen garbage can.  Neither of these will be fun anymore pretty soon, but at the moment I have to hide my smile as I tell him no when he throws his juice cup on top of old fridge leftovers.  Oh, I forgot another.  He used to try to take things out of the dishwasher anytime I had to open it to fill it or empty it.  Then he started trying to drink the pooled water off the open door, like a cat.  Now, anytime it's open he pushes the drawers back in and shuts the door!  Progress...

Here's a picture of the plume of smoke we see whenever the wind sends it our way from the closest fire.
