LizBeth went to the City yesterday and received an A+ on her Swallow Study. We are free to feed her whatever she wants! Well, not really. She has definitely taken an interest in eating though. And since the Swallow Study revealed NO aspiration (food going into her airway), we are a bit more at ease about it. Right now her faves are still applesauce and mashed potatoes.

Stacy and I have started the Love Dare. We went to see the movie Fireproof (Loved it!) and then purchased the journal that goes along with the one in the movie. Here's a picture of the happiest couple in the world on Day 1 of the Love Dare:

Day 1 - You can't say anything negative to each other. Most harsh words are spoken in anger, so you must think before you speak. Not the other way around. We did quiet well on Saturday... even without tape on our mouths!

Day 2 -Do an unexpected act of kindness. We tried, but in the end, decided it was the thought that counted.

Day 3 - Buy your spouse something to show you care. My favorite day because these came to school:

Day 4 -Call your spouse just to check on them during the day. Have no hidden motives or agenda. We were with each other all day long in the City, so we did this in person.

Day 5, Today - Tell your spouse three things, very lovingly, they do that make you uncomfortable or irritated. Needless to say, we haven't done this one yet. Better to wait until after the sermon!

The school prayed for the Veterans and Soldiers on Veterans' Day. Sarah prayed aloud from the 1st grade. I was told she prayed, "And God, thank you for my dad. He was in the Army. I am so glad he did not die. If my dad had died, I would be so sad. It would be terrible to not have a daddy." At home, she prayed very similar, but added, "God - if I didn't have a dad, I might not have had a Mom!"
