Family Reunion

Yesterday was an amazing day!  We didn't want to tell everyone because we wanted it to be a surprise, but a few people still knew.  Timmy came to our family reunion in Santa Cruz!  When he arrived I grabbed by camera and ran over to the shuttle that brought him.  When he was out of the shuttle I said "Timmy!  Look, Josh is here!"  Timmy immediately looked over to Josh and got the hugest smile on his face.  He stayed for about 2 and half hours, and he seemed happy.  He laughed and smiled, and stayed awake the whole time.
Everyone was so happy to see him, and it felt like it completed the day.  Usually at events like this I sit there and think "this would be perfect if Timmy were here" and this time he was :)  We took a picture of the whole family behind Timmy, and I posted it on this website.  Bringing him over for the reunion just made us feel like if he came home we could do this every weekend.  Taking him over was so great for him, and he seemed to really enjoy himself.  He was making sounds like he wanted to tell us something.
Here are some pictures from the family reunion.  One is with Timmy, our brothers, and Dad.  The other is of Timmy, our brothers, me, and our mom.

Now for the exciting news!  I just got off the phone with Dr. Defina's personal assistant, and we filled out a form together, and she scheduled a consult!  The consult is in the beginning of September, and I am so excited for this.  I feel like we are getting closer and closer to him coming to help Timmy.  It's an amazing feeling when everything you have been trying so hard for finally starts to fall into place.
The fundraising week hasn't started yet, but we have already raised $500.00.  Please tell everyone you know about it.  We don't know when we will be needing the money for Dr. Defina, but since everything is set into motion, we want to make sure we have it when he says it's time :)  Thank you everyone who has been helping, praying, donating, just know that Timmy is very thankful to you.
