So we were able to get all of Milltown 2, thanks to Trevan's hard work, wonderful help from John&Linda, and support from lots of others as well. It was great to be there and get the focus off of our little world and it's current challenges. Thanks to Travis E. for ordering a reclining wheelchair that helped maximize "reclining"time. As it turns out, those grounds aren't exactly w/c friendly, but we made it and we have new appreciation for those who undertake convention in a w/c every year! We stayed in a hotel but set up our tent for a day spot to gather/relax/store things ... so from that spot we had a front row seat to lots of the kid action. I'll include some video clips and pictures, as seen from my recliner chair ... One minor complication of convention: Toriana decided on Tuesday that she was ready to buy and wear her long-discussed Hello Kitty underwear and there's been no turning back. Only 2 small accidents since, but lots of nervous moments (a waterproof pad for my lap provided some peace of mind when we remembered to bring it with us to the mtg room!).

We heard about the hymn "I Need Thee every hour" ... could we also honestly sing "I Heed Thee every hour"? God can say "I feed thee and I lead thee every hour." Also heard about going "through" to get "to".
