New Neighbors?

They built the roof on our neighbor's house today. When they were building our house, we used to drive by once a week to see the progress. Early on, we met our future neighbors across the street. I started looking forward to seeing them as much as I looked forward to seeing the progress on our house.

Every time a car slows down near the construction, I wonder if it's our new neighbors. No one has stopped yet, though.

Delightful Finch and Strong Bear love to sit in their window and watch the guys and their big trucks. I'm always getting after them to keep the window closed and not stand on the window sill. Bear protects Finch by yelling at her to stay down when I'm not there.

Yesterday Strong Bear saw a cool car with smoke decals painted on the sides near the front tires. He said, "Mom! Mom!! That car is so cool to me. I like that stinky car."

One More Day

Good news - we made it through another day. Seraph is doing OK. She eats very little by mouth. She gets the rest of her food through the NG(nasal gastrinal) tube. Her therapist said she's doing well considering what she's been through. She's getting a little strong each day. She's gained enough weight in the past 3 days that even I can see the difference. It's nice to have the oxygen monitor to tell me that she's getting enough air. I worry about her less often.

My cool neighbor is moving :(
I've been pretending that they're not moving....I'll be sad to see them go - they've been really good friends and Strong Bear and Delightful Finch LOVE playing with their little boy. We'll miss you!
