Since it was almost 90 degrees on Monday, I broke out the little swimming pool, blew it up and we played in it for a while during the afternoon. They all jumped right into the water. I think Xander was a little cold, because then he preferred to stay on the grass and play with toys. Will sat in the water, splashed and played with toys. Grace, on the other hand, was in and out and jumping and splashing and squeaking. She loved it! I think the boys will like it more as we do it more. They always take a little longer to warm up to things than Grace does.
No real other news here. We're all just pretty much the same. Will took a trip back to the doctor on Thursday for 2 weeks of coughing and wheezing. He was on steroids (done now) and it's helped. No more nebulizers or anything. His walking is coming along, too. He's getting a little more brave to let go and be free standing. He loves to walk, he pushes the walking toy all over the house. He'll be walking around in no time! Xander is getting better at walking, almost full time now. Still falls once in a while. He tries to drink and walk like Grace does and he can't. Grace can say "duck" now. The boys just call it a "quack". And, they all will do a monkey sound "ee, ee, ee". If you say (to no one in particular) "Are you a monkey? " you will get three monkey sounds from around the house. Xander also knows cat and goat now.
I have another friend who needs your prayers this week. A good friend of mine, Susan Otte, (I taught with her at Zeman) and her husband John are in need of all the prayers you can muster. Their 4 month old daughter Quinn is having open heart surgery (on Friday morning) for a congenital heart defect. It is rare and very serious, but they think she is going to make it. However, after this surgery, she is going to have a long road of recovery ahead of her. Please pray for them that the surgery goes well and the recover is speedy and painless. Thank you all. I know they appreciate the thoughts and prayers. More next week.
