Happy 60th Dad!

Happy birthday Dad! I wish I could be there to dance with you in person, but know that I will be dancing with you in spirit. I love you! ~Misty

they put the "slumber" in slumber party...

I am just posting this to remind you both how God planned for each brother and sister in a family.
How He knows that we need each other for comfort, security, and friendship.. and for a leg to throw upon.
I am just posting this so your mom will have some ammo when you decide that your brother is annoying or your sister doesn't love you...

Making Progress

Olivia is making progress...it is painfully slow, but progress is good. She is now 51 days old, 31 weeks gestational age and weighs 2 lbs 11 oz. She came off the ventilator on Easter Sunday, and to the surprise of the medical team, has done very well. She continues to struggle with her feedings due to her immature GI system, but she is gradually getting increased amounts of formula. As of this morning at 8 o'clock, she is receiving 8 cc (approx 1 1/2 tsp), every 3 hours. Olivia is awake and alert more often, and she loves to be held.

Olivia being held by Daddy for the 1st time.

A view of Liv's face from above-she looks a little scary with the CPAP, but she is really cute!

We figured a comparison to Bitty Baby would give everyone a better perspective of her size.

She is still so very tiny-a little miracle!

Okay . . . You won.

I was all ready . . . and forgot.

Lot of of love-
Aunt Sarah
