After all of that mirror fun, I helped Pop fix Mommy’s Car. . .

. . . the power of the mind.Both Chris and I had opportunities/situations today where we realized how very powerful our attitudes are to our own wellbeing and to the wellbeing of those around us. It seems to me that 75% of a person’s happiness in a given situation depends on the attitude they have […]

Ali applauded several times tonight when Chris and I would kiss. Smart girl – she’s already figured out that its a GOOD thing that Mommy and Daddy love each other!Also, earlier today, she burped really loudly. I mean, it resonated a LOT. She jerked up and looked at me shocked and confused, so I said […]

I just got an update and some new pictures from JC! Eli’s doing great. He’s up to 3 lbs 7 oz and is still eating as much as they will feed him. He definitely knows when meal times are and will let you know if you’re a little late. They took him off of aminophylline, […]

This morning when we left to go to church, Chris carried Ali down to the car, and when he was buckling her in, he realized that she had “smuggled” a very small book from upstairs. Odd, but no problem. About halfway to church, she wanted to hand me the book. She didn’t want it anymore. […]

I picked up Ali this morning from her glorious weekend at Gramamma and Pop’s. She took a loooong nap to recover from all of her fun, and then we went to an afternoon dinner, and then to the park. I got to play with some of the new features on my new camera. So far, […]

Can you believe it – I skipped a day of blogging!! Just for you, Gina. ;) You shouldn’t complain so much about my too-often blogging. I can’t help it if I have a very exciting life! Ha! :) Eli is doing great – I haven’t gotten any new updates or pictures from JC and Lindsay […]

We always love the opportunity to keep AJ so that she and Ali can play, and so we kept AJ last night while David and Ashley had a work-related dinner. As I have posted many times before (but I have a lot of new readers, so I’ll review), Ali and AJ and bestestest friends! They […]

The blood patch went well. Lindsay’s headaches are gone and her BP is back down to normal. Eli is now in CCN 3 on the seventh floor (a promotion). He’s eating 26 CCs (almost an ounce!) and is out from under the lamp. He looks great, and the doctors said they will probably let him […]

I sleptwalked last night. I remember jumping out of bed to “check on Eli”, who was asleep in our hallway. I woke up in the hallway, realizing that Eli was not, after all, there, or needing me to check on him. I have sleptwalked all my life, more or less – it comes in waves. […]
