Family gets up. Daddy goes off to work and drops 3 year old at daycare while mommy stays home with newborn.
Could have been any family today. It just happened to be ours. With the exception of an in home assessment from the Regional Center, it was a mild, dressing-change-free day. Mommy, daddy, and Bella surprised Ali at daycare. You should have seen the pride and joy on Ali's face when she introduced everyone to her little sister. We went to the grocery store together, ate dinner together, then sat on the bed and watched Madagascar 2 with big bowls of popcorn together. Awesome.
It's nice to have a day with no wind, good or bad.
Here's the worst of it:
Watching the velcro on Bella's disposable diapers poke holes in her thighs is killing us. We're going to fuzzibunz.
We're also changing our diet around somewhat to give Bella the healthiest milk we possibly can. That's funny. I said we. I don't give Bella any milk! ANGELIQUE is changing her diet somewhat. We're gonna be hippies before we know it. She used organic hemp oil in her homemade salad dressing today! See! It's already begun.
We've had close to 50 messages from the past two posts. We can't begin to tell you how much strength and power that provides us. Even if we don't respond directly, again, each and every one of you is noticed and appreciated. THANK YOU.
Now, enjoy your weekend. Tomorrow, we get Ali new pool toys and it's off to the pool for the next 2 days!
Blessings to all of you. Good night.

Dear Ang, Tim and Girls:
I just heard about Bella and I want you to know you have all been added to my prayer list. Be assured prayers will go up for all of you on a daily basis. If there is anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask me.

Thanks so much for the update. I can just see the 4 of you on the bed watching the video. It is warm here and I am working on the Intercommunity Sister's Retreat. Last week the Grief Retreat went very well. The evals were wonderful--even though they were missing one of the best parts since you were not there. Love and prayers...Pat Julian

I think we take "normal" for granted. Sometimes it's nice to have a "typical" day. Enjoy the norm. I can see how this is a huge adjustment for you all and nobody could have done it the way you all have! Happy Father's Day! You deserve the best and you have it!

It's all about the "we." Without that, there isn't much meaning in anything in life. We are praying for you! ~Jesse & Becky

Most of the time, it's the simple blessings that mean the most.
