4th of July week

We had a fun 4th of July celebration. Ziad's mom (Tata) came to visit us for a few days. Leila, Rami and Deena enjoyed the extra attention. Tata got to spend some quality time with all three kids. She spent time cooking for us and we had a great time. We spent the 4th with our neighbors and enjoyed the fireworks in our neighborhood. Ziad's brother Waleed and his wife Stefanie also came for a few days to visit with us and see the kids. They enjoyed swimming with Leila, Rami and Deena and playing the Wii. We spent an evening on the Las Vegas strip to show Stefanie, who had never been to Vegas. Leila did well and was fine with walking around to see the sites.

Leila has done incredibly well with her medication in this stage of treatment. She has only complained of her stomach hurting, but no sickness from it. She continues to have a lot of energy and she is eating well.

With Leila doing so well, we have decided to make the trip to Columbus that we had planned long ago. Mom and the kids will travel on Tuesday back to Ohio and stay for 10 days. We are looking forward to seeing the entire family.

In the picture on the top of the page Leila and Evan are missing the same exact teeth. How funny. Looks like your summer is going well. All that swimming and bike riding looks like fun. Keep having fun.

Love,
