Billy and Laurel Update!

Billy and Laurel Update:  from Laurel:  So here's the deal. Billy will NOT have to have a permanent shunt put in! We are now back in the stroke unit (AKA our second home:). Please pray that this will definitely be Billy's last setback, and that we will be on our way back to Spain soon. Sorry, for the lack of updates, but things can change so fast, I'm really hesitant to put anything on here until I have confirmation. Thanks!

We are so happy that Billy is finally making progress again.  We ask for prayers that he will continue to improve.  He has been down such a long road, and has had many complications.  We are all hopeful that the healing can begin now for both of them.  We love you Billy and Laurel!

Applause Dance Competition


Samantha receiving our trophy

The girls had a competition this weekend at the Alabama Theater.  They did SOOOO good!  We are so proud of them.  They received a high gold rating for their performance.  This competition didn't do the different divisions.  They just have one overall winner.  So, we don't know where we fell in the order.  There were so many teams there, it was hard to keep up.  Stephanie, Mike, and Allison made the trip from Mississippi to see the girls perform.  M & M were so excited to see them.  Cassie and Braxton came and watched them perform too.  Needless to say, we were a very LOUD cheering section for M.A.D.  We had lunch with Steph, Mike, and Allison at The Mill on southside.  It was so much fun getting to spend time with them.  We then headed back to the theater to watch the rest of the groups, and wait on awards.  Awards didn't start til 9, so Steph, Mike, and Allison headed back around 6.  Turned out they ran a little early and started them around 8.  The girls LOVED every minute.  They had improved so much from the competition in TN.  Scroll down to see their video of their performance.  We snuck in the Flip Video.....shhhhhh!  I can't say how proud we are of our girls.  All of the girls did an outstanding job.  2 more weeks, and then the last one in ATL...then RECITAL! (May 8th @ BJCC)

Had to share this pic!


I know this isn't the best quality, but I took a pic of the group on stage, and we spotted Meagan turning it up!  So, I had to crop her out and share.  It just tickles me to look at her giving it her all.  So proud of my babies.

Dance Warm-UpsI


I had to share these pics. Meagan and Maddie wore their M.A.D. warm-ups to school Monday. They danced, leaped, and twirled all the way to the bus. They couldn't wait to get to school to tell all of their friends about their competition. I am so proud of my girls!
