Weekend Fun

Margaret and Daddy under James' tree!



















James' Bench at Cheekwood --Thank you Uncle Neil and Aunt Debbie!

What a wonderful week and weekend! It was so nice to have Daddy home all week. He is incredible and has been very helpful! Plus, we got in some much needed family time. Friday morning we celebrated Margaret's 4 Week Old Birthday! Later that evening, Mabel came home from my parents' house, and we introduced our little girls. Mabel was not that interested. She sniffed Margaret for a few seconds and then went straight to bed.

We were pretty lazy on Saturday, because I was recovering from an allergic reaction to a new medication. It looks like that last hospital stay wasn't necessary. I had the same symptoms two weeks ago (shortness of breath, chest pain, low grade fever) and had started the same antibiotic. Anyway I stopped the medication and now feel much better.

Today we took Margaret on her first ride in the stroller around Cheekwood! What a gorgeous day! We introduced Margaret to James' tree and bench. The tree is bare right now, but we know come springtime it will be covered in those beautiful, delicate leaves. James has been heavy on our minds lately, because Margaret looks so much like him. We see him in her mouth and her eyes. How special--he will always be with us, and Margaret will love our visits to Cheekwood to play around her brother's tree!

What a blessing it is to see your pictures and hear about your special weekend together. I bet Margaret will spark Mabel's interest when she gets her vocal chords going more!
James' tree will bloom and Margaret will bloom and we will thank God with you.

I continue to pray for you daily.
Love, Ellen
