Today is not a good day to post:) I have been trying to upload pictures in a creative way, but alas, I cannot do it. We have been busy once again, and I have failed to post. I'm thinking of paying my cousin in peanut butter pie to update my blog daily (Love ya AJ!)

Yesterday was a Family Fun Day! We went to Amarillo to the Discovery Center, Mardel Christian Bookstore, and the Olive Garden. We all enjoyed the Discovery Center... and Lizzie ate her first Twix candy bar while we were there. At Mardel's, Lizzie napped and the girls tried to spend all our money:) The Olive Garden was made entertaining by Lizzie and her newly discovered bread sticks. She ate at least one, maybe two. The girls have told us thank you repeatedly:)

School starts this Wednesday. Four of the Rosses will start school then. Lizzie will start in January after her birthday. Stacy will be teaching Bible and History and I will teach English and Vocabulary to the 7-9th grades at NCS. Stacy is also going back to Hillsdale, via the Internet, to finish his degree. Lots of homework for him:)

Lizzie's stander is here! She hates, hates, hates it. She also hated her stroller at first too. Once she figures out how much more she can do, I think she'll like it. She has been trying so hard to hold her head up and look around.

Mom and Dad will soon be here! The kids start school next Monday, so they are excited and nervous. I am so happy to have them so close. Our plans are to watch Bubba play football and march in the band as much as possible. Kayla is going to play golf! When she says, "Fore!", it sounds like "Foe -ur!" I love it! She's in band too. We're not sure what we're going to do when Dalhart comes to play Guymon...

I should be able to post pics on Monday! I will not be creative, just doing the ordinary:)

Hi Ross Family -
This is the Knowles Family. Our little girl is Daisy and she has a lot of similarities to your princess, Elizabeth. My husband has a blog - which he has not updated recently (computers. . . ) It's www.daisydaddy.com. Daisy was born with severe muscle weakness. Things looked pretty darn grim in the beginning. We believe in miracles, and the power of pray and Daisy is a testament to the power of love. She had a lot of respiratory distress, blue episodes - she still has a g tube (we don't use it any longer - but its the greatest insurance policy ever). We had tube feedings, although she now eats by mouth. Our doctors never had a definitive finding for Daisy, although she does have "lipid storage" in her muscle - or did, when she was 4 months old. I sure would like to email with you Kelly. Your experience sounds a lot like mine . . . and both of our girls seem to be doing just great. Your (hopefully) new friend, Sara (sariasar@yahoo.com)

Hi - I was just browsing blogs and stopped to read yours. I see that someone posted that their child sounds similar to yours.

I'm sure you get people suggesting things to you all the time and I sure don't want to offend anyone. I know a family whose little girl has extreme muscle weakness and has a diagnosis of Retts Syndrome.

I hope that all goes well for you.
