Little Delay

We have had a little blog delay because we have switched internet providers. We are now with Embarq and are praying this service is better...

I don't have any new pictures to post. :( Our memory card is full and I can't bring myself to delete any pictures. Hopefully I can talk David into going to Walmart to get a new one this weekend. (Going to Walmart is another thing I can't bring myself to do!)

Last Friday, Ava had an appointment with a dermatologist at Duke. She has an hemanigioma (spelling??) on her eyelid that has been there since she was about 3 weeks old. Our pediatrician just wanted us to get a second opinion, so he referred us to Duke. It was an experience to say the least! In a "round about way" the doctor told us that it would eventually stop growing and just fade away. The dermatologist refered us to an opthamoligist who basically said the same thing. Praise God!
The "5 minute walk" from one doctor to the next ended up taking us about an hour. We had to ride a "train" to get there. I told Ava that it was a lot like the monorail at Disney World just without the castle and all. I think her first word may be Disney. :)

Little side story about the hemangioma....When Jay and Caroline (her cousins) came to meet Ava for the first time they were both curious about her eye. Jay asked me, "What happened to her eye?" I told him that she had a boo-boo. He just looked up at me and said, "God will save her." He's exactly right! ;)
