This is one happy Gram. My mom wouldn't let go of Ira this morning. I'm not sure how many times I asked, "Mom, do you need a break?" And each time I got a look from her that said, "Are you crazy?"
Ira had a good day. He was peaceful and rested easy. He did okay with the bottles today. And because Ira's day was good and peaceful so was Laura's and mine. We hope to rest easy tonight as well.

In other familial news, it was Sophia's first day in daycare today. (Some friends of our family made the first two months financially possible. Thanks, A and J.) Laura reported that Sophia was not happy about it but we learned from the staff that Sophia soon got into a rhythm with the other kids. She'll go twice a week. This should be of help to us all as Sophia needs to brush up on her socialization with her peers and we need a little break from managing our hectic schedule.

Hey, Gram - holding those grandbabies is the best feeling in the world , right!? - one of the many blessings God gives to grandmas! Enjoy Ira - he is such a precious gift! Kaki at Fortress

Hello All!
I'm so glad to hear that Ira had a good day... it's wonderful to see him with his Grandma. It's also exciting that Sophia has started going to preschool- she will do so well! I wish I could still be there to have her in Sunday School class and to bring you all more of my experimental cooking, but instead, I'll be doubling up on my prayers for your family here from Nashville! I pray for comfort and strength for all of you!!

Oh, Mom, I am so jealous! Why, why, why did I have to leave New York before Ira was ready for some lovin' like that? Give him a little kiss for me, will you? And Sophia, too. I miss her, and we still say "yuh" around our house just like she taught us. peace -- Katie
Ditto Katie's comment--I am so jealous! Glo, Ira looks so peaceful--know you're loving every minute of your stay there. Joe and Laura, I've learned what it's like the past 10 days having someone have to tell me what's on the blog about Ira--you know, we country folks don't handle computer breakdowns very well--especially when those tech people are telling you to click here and click there. At any rate, I've certainly felt lost not having access to your news--but I have had good "reporters." Still praying for Ira and praying for you and Laura. Love you so very much. Aunt Jackie
Of course Ira had a good day. His gram was there! What more can one say?
However, I am so glad Ira had a good day, and hope he has many more. If he doesn't, just pass him to Gram, and she'll have him quiet in no time. She's good that way! Loved the picture - keep sending them. How much does Ira weigh now? Hope he continues to do well with the bottles. Give him a big kiss from this great aunt, too!
Much love to all,
Weedon
Go Sophia! Preschool is FUN!
What a blessing to get to love on our sweet, sweet boy! He looks just like his Daddy did when he was a baby! He has grown a lot since I saw him last and those gorgeous blue eyes are soooooo precious! Oh God, thank you so much for Ira and his mom and dad and sister. Thank you so much for providing him with this family that continues to love on him through lots of tough days.
Sophia is so sweet and so much fun! She and I watercolored, danced, read books, and walked to the grocery store to get some grapes this afternoon. She is very imaginative and has wonderful expressions.
I'm amazed at Joe and Laura and their stamina. It's really, really hard to travel to and from the hospital daily even though you're sitting on the subway most of the time. Then as much fun as it is to hold Ira for hours on end, it's also very tiring and a little bit nerve-wrecking since he continues to work soooo hard for every breath he takes. Their friends continue to provide meals almost daily and minister to them in so many ways! I am amazed at the warmth and hospitality and love of these born/bred Yankees and the Yankee transplants! Joe and Laura's family is blessed beyond belief when you consider God placed them in NYC for this journey...because of the ministry surrounding them and because of the medical benefits surrounding them.
Joe F. and I thank all of Joe C's and Laura's friends as well as their extended family's friends for the many, many acts of kindness. We love all of you and thank God daily for "every remembrance of you!"

So glad Ira had a good day. And how exciting for Sophia (everything is more fun with a friend).
