Brian's grandma Troyna!

Please keep Brian's grandma in your prayers. She has been fighting a long battle of cancer and has recently started having hospice come into her home. Just pray for comfort for her family and strength and courage. Pray that she will continue to have minimal pain and that she will keep getting good rest.
I have to mention that every time we tell Keziah we are going to visit Great Grandma Troyna she automatically mentions 'duck'...let me explain! It started around Easter time when we visited her and she had a ceramic duck sitting out for decoration. If you know Kezzie you know that she ADORES anything with a beak, especially ducks. And this particular duck was pretty cool to her since we let her get close to it and touch it. Now every time we are going to see her she remembers the duck and looks in the very spot it was sitting to see if it is there. It has since been moved to a much higher location so we can't touch it but we can still see it! Not long ago grandma went on a trip to Missouri and she brought back Kezzie her very own duck. I think this only solidified her correlation between great grandma Troyna and ducks! It is amazing what kids can remember!
Here is our most recent pic of us visiting her while Mat and Steph were home yesterday. Of course it is always a challenge to get kids to cooperate so this is the best we could do...still a pretty good picture!
Later in the day, while playing over at Brian's parents, we got a couple shots of the kids when they were happy! Lately Kezzie has been sporting what we call 'her mad face' (as mentioned in her 20 month post). Here it is caught on camera. She will promptly show it off if someone requests. That is if she can keep a straight face!! She is barely managing to keep from smiling but you get the idea with the cruel eyebrows! I'm not sure what Brady is doing...it looks like he is creating his own break dance!
