The Givens Family: July 2008

Brennan's Journey

The support Brennan has received is overwhelming and incredibly humbling. There is a growing number of people who are asking us how they can help Brennan through his journey and our main focus and priority continues to be prayer for Brennan, his overall health and for the doctors. But so many people are wanting to help even more. For those that feel led to help Brennan financially, a "donate" button is now available. It is linked directly to a special account for Brennan and his long road ahead. Any amount is greatly appreciated. I wish there were words to express our gratitude for all of the support and prayers B is receiving. Thank you to all and God Bless.

Trip to Newport!

We took a mini vacation to Newport Beach for a few days. We stayed with Joel's grandparents. They were able to spend some quality time with Brennan, which we know they loved!

It was nice to get away and do some fun things as a family. We went to the ENORMOUS O.C. Fair, walked around the Newport Pier and Balboa Island as well as running along Newport beach. We shopped at Fashion Island and spent some time at the Block at Orange and hung out at Dave and Buster's (we are introducing Brennan to the love of Arcades)

We can't wait to go again!

Swimming!

Brennan loves swimming. We are house sitting for our neighbors for 2 weeks... so it's like having our own pool!!! We are in in almost every day.

Weird, but Brennan's favorite pool toy is his little, yellow shovel.

Welcome!!!

A recent picture of us! I figured I would start a blog to keep friends and family updated on our lives and, most importantly, the long road ahead for Brennan. He has a lot more to come in the next 2 1/2 years and we appreciate your thoughts and prayers for our family. Thanks for reading and God Bless!!!
