{IN THE WORDS OF THE EIGHT YEAR OLD}

Today my brothers and sisters stopped by on their way down to Phoenix and while they were here my eight year old sister Haley made this comment:

"I think that I know why Callie is still alive. You know how she is crazy and when she falls down she just gets right back up? It's just like that. She falls down, she gets up."

Oh how true those words are! What a strong girl our little California is!

So sweet. If only we could have the faith that little kids have. I can't tell you how grateful I feel that Callie is making improvements. That is more of a miracle than anything else I have ever seen. Thank heavens for that. We love you! Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I don't want to bother Dana during such a stressful time but tell her I think about her entire family more than anything else. We'll keep our prayers coming!

Ashley Marie, it's either me or my computer, but one of us is dumb! I can't get the link thing you sent me to work! Got any ideas?

So I'm just a random reader browsing blogs... and I came across yours. You're the first Overgaard resident I've found online! I have a cabin in Heber! Anyway, just thought I'd come say hello. :)
