Busy, Busy!

Audrey's swim lessons have come to a close. She had one semi-scared day in the water last week, but she did well most of the other days. Then, we had family day on Friday...all of a sudden, she turned into a different little swimmer. Maybe the comfort of mom and dad in the pool with her made the difference. She was going under water...and loving it! She also started to swim on top of the water during the last 10 minutes or so. I can't wait to swim with her again so that she can get more practice. Elise had a fine time in the pool too. It was a fun day! Thanks to Grandma for cooking us a delicious crawfish bisque lunch! And Papa and Maw-Maw Grace also came to watch the big swim!

Thanks Granny for giving Martin and me a much-needed night out this weekend. We went to Sullivan's with a gift card that we got for Christmas...better late than never! Neither of us could remember the last time we had been out together alone! It was nice to actually be able to talk to each other without interruptions. We had a great time!

This week is a work week for me. I work at the technology lab doing professional development trainings 9 days this summer...this week (M- Th) is my first training for the summer. It was a little stressful today....Lydia has decided once again that she will only eat for her mommy. It is a little different this time...it used to be that when other people tried to feed her, she wasn't able to suck as well, and so, didn't get as much formula in in a feeding. Well...that is not the problem now...she is just flat-out refusing to eat (turning her head) when anyone else tries to feed her. As soon as she is handed over to me, she will down 4-5 oz. Today, Martin and her OT (Terry) tried to feed her, and she absolutely would not eat. I had to come home at my lunch break just to get her to at least take one bottle for the day. Then, even I got her to barely take less than 4 oz. I think she just got used to refusing the bottle today. I pray that this does not continue for the rest of the week. I want her to learn that mommy is not the only person who can feed her.

Wednesday will be the 12-week mark for Lydia's biopsy. We decided that we will call Atlanta then if we do not hear from them by then.

Thanks for your continued prayers. Love to all!
