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.
