Family Day and Update on Henry

Here is an update on Henry:
Posted by Laura Davidson-

Today we're thankful that Henry ate for the first time since surgery (avoiding a feeding tube.) Facial swelling has gone down considerably and he slept well last night. We're humbled by and thankful for your outpouring of support. God bless.

WOW! I am in awe hoe much of a fighter Henry is! Keep praying...it is working!!

Today was a fun family day. I started the day with an 8 mile run! It was the perfect temperature this morning. It is starting to be cooler in the morning which makes running more pleasant. After that I came home and ate and showered and got ready to go. All the state parks in Georgia today were free! So we went to Fort Yargo which is pretty close to our house. The weather was kind of overcast so it was nice and not blazing hot. We parked by the boat ramp and we went fishing. That Barbie fishing pole is amazing!! We have had such good luck with it and again good luck today!! We caught 3 fish on it! I caught a bass and a blue gill and Brendon caught a sunfish. Olivia even became interested in the fishing pole..I showed her how to turn the crank on the reel. She also liked to press the purple button that released more line...which made it hard when a fish would bite. She watched the bobber and would say bobber. She was also interested in the fish once we would reel it in. After fishing we had a picnic lunch. Then we went for a short walk on the trail. Olivia liked picking up sticks and we had to be careful of the poison ivy on the trail. But she loved walking on the trail.

Then we came home and it was nap time. While she napped I went to Kohls. I had a few coupons and got a few things. I bought Olivia a cute little cow bowling set for Christmas. I hope she likes it!

Later in the afternoon the Georgia/Tennessee game was on. Actually when we were coming home from Fort Yargo we got stopped by a escorted bunch of buses which we think were the Tennessee football players...they were being escorted by GSP and some Tennessee police. That was the only thing we could think of. We watched the football game and made some chicken wings. Olivia did pretty good during the game. She would clap when we clapped and I taught her the word cheerleader! So cute! Maybe one day she will be a cheerleader!
