It’s okay.  Drinking and swallowing are fairly complicated skills and they’ve been not possible for weeks.  Life.  It’s okay. It all takes time. Love, Everybody

This made me cry tonight, relieved and grateful. So much love, Grandma

I’m so glad it was a wonderful weekend and you got to enjoy it all. So much love, and so many wishes for a great year. We all love you, Val and Everybody

 Always fun, always exciting.  Lots of energy and personalities!  What a great morning.  Love, Grandpa and Grandma

Be back tomorrow  What a great day. Love Val and Everybody

 This morning when I drove to Heidi’s the clouds were beautiful in the steely cold air.  The Mississippi River was completely obscured by huge, billowing clouds of steam. This is from another day, these two scrappy sisters. This morning the older one showed me a mark along her ribs where the little one had bit

I took this picture out the back steps this morning while I waited for the dog. It’s that bitter cold where you step one foot outside to get the mail and it all freezes up in your nose like ZIP. Pretty, yes. Winter is so beautiful.  Uninhabitable, but beautiful. This child is our Boss Baby. 

 These are a few pictures of the art crew on Monday, busy working.  Whoops! And then why?? Why do these things go off the rails? Who cares?  They’re washable paints, no harm done. Today we had to get OUUUT of this boring winter house so we went to Target after lunch and bought sparkly rain

This photo hit right in the chest, and that’s the truth, her tiny fragile little self.  I have not held her since the day after her baptism in December, and that day we had no idea how sick she would be in just one more day. It’s been a very long five weeks. She’s okay.
