Snow Day

How happy it makes me inside to look out and see the snow continually falling. It is really a beautiful sight. It almost looks like a white, fluffy blanket covering the ground. We are on the fifth floor and I love looking out the windows and watching it fall all the way down. I have no idea how cold it is today. Yesterday it was only 8 degrees. I think that is insane.

I have spent the morning doing Ashley's laundry. If you can imagine a stack of 30 pink blankets dwindling down to only a mere 2 then you can imagine just how much throwing up my sweet Ashley has been doing the last couple of days. Any change in position makes her so miserable. We are running her feeds a 10ccs an hour trying to counter act the TPN for her liver. If you feed the bowel it protects the liver. I hate making her feel so yucky, but we do not want to lose her new liver. She actually sat up all by herself after her bath for about 10 minutes this morning. I was so very proud of her. She kept turning her head toward the baby in the mirror and waving to herself. She is now sleeping in a lavender onesie with purple flowers on it and wearing her fuzzy bunny slippers. She looks so very sweet while she sleeps. As soon as she wakes up she announces the end to her slumber by giving me a very hearty, "AAAAAGGGGHHHH". Then she quickly follows it with a grin. She is very proud of her ability to growl.

I am looking forward to tonight so I can talk to Blake and Allie. Blake has been with friends all weekend and I haven't spoken with him since Thursday evening. I miss talking to him. I hope he had a great time. Dave and Allison are on their way home from Dallas. Allison's cheer squad took third place this morning at Nationals. I am so proud of her. I can't wait to see the pictures tonight. Dave promised to send them to me.

Not much is happening here in Omaha today. I am going to sneek back into our room to watch the snow fall some more. I sure am enjoying this snow day that He provided. If only my big kids were here to enjoy it with me. Oh' well, maybe we will get some more on their next visit. Take care today and thank you for checking on our baby gherkin. God Bless.
