Well, Stacy has made it safely to Clinton, and is at the Revival now. Please pray for him to do and say what God would lead him to do. Sarah has already shed several tears for her "funny, sweet daddy." Katelyn and LizBeth seem to be okay with just Mom, although we did have Chicken Helper tonight.

I have felt pretty bad the past two days. It seems this awful cough has been passed from Sarah to LizBeth to me. Stacy bought me a day time cough medicine and a night time cough medicine before he left this afternoon. Lizzie stayed at her first baby sitter's all day long. She did good. I was told she was a little cranky. I was hoping it was because she missed her momma, but I'm pretty sure it's the new teeth trying to come in. So tomorrow will be just Liz and me. She has PT at 2:00 tomorrow, but otherwise, we should have a rather unexciting week!

Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow. But now - let it stop! Thankfully it has. I'm not sure how many inches we received, only that the snow drifts are incredible. Katelyn and Sarah practically disappear in them. Stacy and two friends shoveled the driveway, and managed to flag down a man on a tractor to help them clear the snow. We have friends who cannot open their front door. They have to go out the back door, walk to the front and shovel in to the front door! Yesterday, the girls went out in the backyard to play, and upon trying to reenter the house, could not get the door open. They had only been out like 15 minutes, but the snow had already accumulated that much! We drank lots of hot chocolate yesterday.

Stacy is going to Clinton on Monday to preach a revival. The girls and I are planning to rent movies and order a lot of pizza since our cook will be gone:)

LizBeth still has her junky cough, but is otherwise doing very well. She's napping right now. Katelyn and Sarah are soon to follow her. They, however, do not take naps nicely. Upon threat of toy confiscation, they usually relent and take a nap without too much mayhem. Staying up until late and getting up at the first ray of sunlight is rather tiring on them... and me:)

Lizzie did not sleep so well last night. However, she is feeling much better this morning. She's napping in the living room right now. Stacy and the youth group are prayer walking in Guymon toady. They stopped by earlier for a break and seemed to be having a good time. We're having pizza later.

This week I have been Spring Cleaning. When I went into Lizzie and Stacy's room, I took out all her medical equipment that we are no longer using. I put in the garage until our doctor discontinues it. After the room was cleaned out, I almost cried. It looks just like a normal baby's room now. (No oxygen humidifier, portable oxygen tanks, feeding pump or IV pole.) As I've said before, we have a long way to go with Lizzie. But, oh my, we have come so far already! When I look at Lizzie - I see a miracle. A prayed for and answered miracle. Thank you for your continued prayers for LizBeth and our family. God is so good.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

LizBeth had a check up and 4 shots today! (It was time for her immunizations.) Her doctor is not really concerned about her weight loss, but wants us to keep supplementing Pedia Sure. She is now 28 1/2" long and weighs 15.14 lbs. She has been taking quiet a long nap since we came home at noon.

It's a nice day here again. The girls are out playing. Tomorrow our youth group, along with Stacy and our youth pastor are going to walk from Goodwell to Guymon. That's 12 1/2 miles! I'm still not sure if I will be participating or not. All the proceeds are going to help missionaries.

The girls and I are still spring cleaning. Well, they are basically just trying to keep an eye on the trash to make sure I'm not throwing away any treasures. Sonic toys, yo-yos without strings and even stickers that are no longer sticky are deemed worthy by the Ross girls! I usually don't care, but when the toy box is overflowing, I think it's time to let go. I have this talk with Stacy periodically too. Let go...let go...It's a shirt with a hole in the sleeve; Have you used it in six years; Do you remember what it's used for?

It's time for Sarah to write this blog. Let's go, Sarah!

Katelyn and me are going to exercise for a long time. We exercised for two hours. LizBeth was being so silly today and she smiled at me for a while. When I went to the dentist, I got two green bracelets and one yellow bracelet. And then I was doing my homework and Dad helped me so I got finished with my homework. Dad and I went over to the store and Dad got me something to eat. And then Dad wanted me to go home, but I wanted to go to school, so Dad said "Okay!" When we got almost to Guymon, it did stink really bad. A while ago Arminius was sniffing the teddy bear under the lamp in the living room. Bye. I will be playing with my sisters!

Lizzie has had a good day today. She went running around with me today. Yesterday, Stacy brought her up to the school for me to watch. She loved it! While my afternoon class was singing, Lizzie was "dancing." My class was so interested in her. LizBeth tried to sing with them and talked a lot. The funniest part was after Stacy dropped LizBeth off with me, one of my little boys wanted to know if "my daddy was coming back?" I had to rub that in with Stacy.

LizBeth did very well in PT yesterday. She rolled from front to back and back again with only a little help. Her PT said her strength was improving even more. She also said she liked the way Lizzie is reaching out to touch toys and faces. We like that too!

Katelyn is going to write this blog. Well, she is going to tell me what to type!

I hit Elizabeth's nose real gently, and she smiled and giggled. Dad's been real sick. LizBeth likes jingling her jingle bells. Sarah likes taking a lot of naps during the day. Mom always looks beautiful. Dad always looks handsome in front of Mom. Papa and Nana came March 9th and stayed four days. Our cats are scared of Buster. Buster is Nana and Papa's dog. Elizabeth has been awake during the day and is very smiley! School was good. I learned something hard, but I can't remember it now. My Bible story was about David taking food to his brothers. My favorite part about school was helping the teacher to clean up the floor in the afternoon. We are going to do Spring Cleaning this weekend and maybe plant flower seeds. My favorite flowers are roses and buttercups. I have a cough so I went to the doctor and he told me to only eat warm soup. That is all I have to say.

Stacy is not feeling well... again. He has a sore throat and achy body. Katelyn, Sarah and I have coughing fits. Lizzie is fit as a fiddle. Every once in a while she has a sissy cough. I think she's just making fun of us! She has her one year check up and immunizations next week.

It's another beautiful day here in the Panhandle! And I am so sleepy. The girls wore me out last night, LizBeth included. Once the bigger girls went to bed at like 12:15, Liz thought she could wake up at 4:00 and chat with me. She hollered and cooed and ga-gaed and hollered and ooohed for about 30 minutes. I tried to ignore her, but she could sense my presence:) So I told her to hush which only made her louder. Finally, she took a bottle and went to sleep. Whew.

She has lost about a pound since we've taken her off the g-tube feedings. She looks great, complete with chubby cheeks, but we've started supplementing PediaSure in one of her bottles. That stuff is like sweetened condensed milk. Lizzie loves it! She also ate a tater tot today. Her problem seems to be squishy baby food. She likes it through a feeder bottle, but not with a spoon. She likes biter biscuits, but only if someone else holds them for her.

This last week, we have had some beautiful days. We've gone to the park several times. We still haven't heard anything about Lizzie's adaptive stroller. Please pray that we will hear something quickly. The stroller will be great for outside activities, but it also has a chest harness to help Liz sit up straight. Without a chest harness, she arches her neck back when sitting. Her stroller also has a tray that we can use when feeding her or playing. And, the seat comes off the stroller and can be used as a chair when we're at home.

Sarah will turn 7 on Tuesday the 10th! She is so excited. Her Nana and Papa are coming down on Monday and we're having cake and ice cream on Tuesday afternoon. This afternoon, while Sarah's friend was leaving, there came a horrible scream from outside. When my friend and I went out to see what was going on, we noticed Sarah lying facedown on the sidewalk. Katelyn was yelling that it was all Sarah's fault. Sarah was yelling the opposite. Needless to say, Sarah is okay and they are BOTH in the bed for a nice long nap! Stacy and I are planning on taking one too. LizBeth doesn't look so sure. She's playing with a dish rag and looking out the window. All the toys we buy and the baby wants a dish rag. Go figure!

With 2 1/2 months of school left, we are planning our summer vacations. One trip to Arkansas and one to Church Camp. I'm sure there will be many trips to the Hooker Pool as well. We are also hoping my brother and sister will get to come stay for a while too.

Well, hello everyone (Uncle Jon:)! LizBeth said "Ra-ra" yesterday! We were pretending to look for Sarah yesterday afternoon and she said it. She is rolling from side to side all the time now. I will post more in a bit. Sarah is having a sleepover tonight and we have a few things to do.
