Friday

Since it was going to be a hot one today, we got our walk in early.  Other than that, though, we didn't do much today.  This evening we went to see Linda and my great-great nephew and my great-great twin nieces.  What a fun time.  I got to read to them and then Blaise read to me.  He's a good reader!!  Linda said he's reading 3rd grade books and he is only starting 1st grade!  

This was such a fun time.  Oaklyn loved my phone and wouldn't give it back to me until we left.  Rowyn took us to see her room and I got to watch Oaklyn take her feeding which I'd never seen done before...plus she ate some yogurt with her spoon!  Blaise has a Cubs room, complete with the coolest nightlight (a baseball diamond with his name on it).

Saturday

Dave was at Bryan's most of the day today.  He, Bryan, and Erin's dad are putting together a big play set for Aidan.  Dave says it's got a million parts.  They are planning to work again tomorrow after church and breakfast!

I watched for hummingbirds today.  We had our first visitor last night and today I had several visits!  Wish I could tell them apart!

Got a new picture of the girls today.  They look so cute!

Looks like Oaklyn has gained weight!  I wonder when they are going to do her surgery.  The girls are watching Moana!

Special day for the girls!

The girls got baptized today, so it was a special day for them.  I know that Kaylee was there, and Bob & Ann were there today too.  They look so pretty in their white dresses!

We had dental appointments this morning...that's always fun.  Then WW tonight.  Plus we did some packing today!

70?!?!!!

I'm having a very hard time believing that I'm 70!  I'm sure glad I feel good because I don't feel like I think I should at 70!  I did, however, take a nap today!!

Received good news today.  Here's what Kyle had to say about Oaklyn:  Oaklyn is doing well today. Very stable, getting better at breathing each day (maintaining her oxygen saturation levels with a lower breathing rate than a couple of days ago). That’s a good sign that her lungs are conditioning well as she gets used to breathing more on her own. And she’s slowly making small weight gains and growing. Slow & steady improvement each day. She’s comfortable & doing well. Hand & arm flexibility seems quite a bit improved today compared to a few days ago. Mostly sleeping and resting up, as she’s burning quite a few calories getting acclimated to breathing.

Here she is today:  

And this is Rowyn:

Thursday

Beautiful day here!  Felt more like the Florida we love! 

Dave went to lawn care this morning.  I had a chiropractor appointment and we also went to Office Depot to get a file printed on legal sized paper.  Now we're watching CNN...what fun!

Here's the picture I tried to upload last night.  Isn't it cute?  Blaise loves his little sister!!

Sunday

Had a great church service as usual.  This afternoon we took Sudi & Howard with us to Whiskey Joe's where we met Nancy & Rod, Becky & Jim, and Karen and David.  We had a fun couple of hours visiting and reminiscing!  Fun times!

It was a gorgeous day here so that made it even better!!

The baby girls are doing about the same.  Rowyn needs to be able to eat more formula before she can go home, and Oaklyn  is holding her own. 

Here they are at 5 days and the second picture is of Oaklyn's meds, fluids, nutrients, etc.  Bless her heart!

 Oaklyn's on the left, Rowyn on the right.

Monday

This is a special day!  Kyle and Cassie's twins were born today! 

Meet Rowyn Kay and Oaklyn Eileen - our great, great nieces!  This picture doesn't show it, but they both weighed 4 lbs 14 oz and were delivered by an emergency C-section!  Welcome to the world, girls!  Can't wait to see Blaise when he sees them!  We love you already!!
