I realized it has been a while since we last blogged. Noah is doing great. At his pediatrician visit Monday , he tipped the scales at 7 lb 11 oz!! Closing in on 8 lbs is so exciting. He has been sleeping okay (not great). He is getting better about sleeping in his bassinet instead of his bouncer. Today I was playing with him and put some stuffed animals near him and he reached out to touch the tiger and puppy dog. He is making responsive facial expressions too. This morning around 10:30am I called his opthamologist to find out when his appointment was for tomorrow and I was quickly informed it was at 11:15 am TODAY! So Anna quickly changed out of her pj's and I threw on some presentable clothes and changed Noah's diaper and outfit and rushed out the door! We got great news... Noah doesn't have to go back for a check up for 3 months. We have been going every 2 weeks. His eyes are perfect the doctor said!

It snowed a good bit here today, at least from my view point. Any Havertown residents reading this are probably laughing at me right now. If there is enough to make snowballs, it is a good bit to me. Anna and I were the only ones sledding last year when we got around 2 inches though...we got alot of funny looks. She wanted to go sledding today but I have been under the weather and Noah isn't quite ready to head out on the sled just yet.

Tom went to Memphis this past weekend and had a good visit with friends as well as fulfilled his Air National Guard duties. My best friend from dental school, Kristen, flew up this past weekend and we had a really good time visiting. It had been almost a year since we had seen each other. She also helped me out greatly with the kids.

Thanks for continuing to check on us!

Please pray for the following:
Guy, Mary, and their family
Ebrahim's walk with the Lord
Noah, and his big sister Anna, that they would come to know the Lord at a young age
God's continued working in the lives of our friends and family
Opportunities to be salt and light to others


Please thank God for (at least) the following:
His love, grace, faithfulness, and provision
