Sorry, it's over 6!

Went over to JP's and Julie's last night and was corrected on Miss Aaleigha's weight - she's over 6 pounds and pushing to 7!

She's also settling into more of a pattern that's distinguishing her days and nights. What a blessing that is for mom and dad who are...pooped!

Such a little sweetie she is!

Andy returned safely yesterday. He and a school bud traveled, by themselves, to the Twin Cities. This is the first time either one of them has driven in any kind of big city. They've never driven to Fargo or St. Cloud to say nothing of the Twin Cities! There were a lot of prayers going upstairs and a lot of praises sung once they called home and said they'd arrived safely.

Of course, as a parent, I would never admit that to him. I was encouraging saying I knew you could do it but, what can I say? I'm a mom. I worry. I pray. And the Lord lifts me through these moments.

The two, Andy and Zach, visited their fellow classmate Torry Brue. And they attended the Twins game on the last of the Twins opening stand. The Twins lost but the three can say they went to the Metrodome during the last season any games will be played there...now they can plan for a trip next year to the new stadium. new stadium. New open stadium. At this time of year? It'll probably snow!

Over five pounds!

Tuesday and Thursday nights are special times for me. It's my time to watch Aaleigha Mya as JP has business meetings and Julie attends water aerobics at the Y.

Last night was a sheer joy for me especially when I learned she's well over five pounds, has been dropped from one of her medications and has changed formula! All steps moving forward. Her body is adjusting to the changes but she's looking great and is awake more now and looking around the room. Such a trooper that little one is!

Julie is probably delighted that Aaleigha is off the other formula. It made the little one quite, um, gassy shall we say. But dad was quite proud of the effects it had on her. He said she, well, passed gas like a Stender! I guess that's a guy thing in the realm of things to brag about!

And now she will celebrate her first Easter. And I believe it's our Kian's first Easter, too, come to think of it! We had such an early Easter last year...Two little celebrations there. Fun and such blessings they all are.

Andy and Jose are on the Hillcrst Spring Break. They have break for two weeks and already a half week has gone by. Jose is also preparing for his confirmation April 26.

We are also watching the flood forecasts for our neighbors to the north and west. Fergus Falls' elevation is high enough where we don't face the floodwaters like Breckenridge-Wahpeton and Fargo-Moorhead do...And we still have a foot of snow on the ground from our storm we had last week. Yuck! I love traveling south to do stories at this time because I can see fields drying out ready for planting. That' won't happen anytime soon in our neck of the woods! But forecasted warmer temps will be welcome...for us but the forecast isn't that great for those in the Red River Valley. Means greater snowmelt and increased flood waters coming through the system.

Ahhh. Spring!
