Zen at 2 weeks






Thanks to everyone for all their thoughts and prayers as we adjust to the new life in our house...Zen is continuing to grow and gain weight--almost a half a pound since his birthday! He has periods of increasing alertness these days (both during the day and in the middle of the night!). He loves to stare at the Christmas lights and hang out in his bouncy chair. Zen had his first non-medical outing on Sunday when we went to church in Evanston. He was a big hit in his little teddy bear suit (Aunt Susie does such a good job picking out cute clothes :-) We spent yesterday down at Children's Memorial Hospital for more tests, this time to see why his blood doesn't clot as well as it should. Zen gave his blood like a trooper. He does much better than Mommy in these situations; luckily Dad was there to take charge.

Zion is doing well and enjoying the 6 inches of snow we got here last week. We are looking forward to having Grandma Pam back with us safe and sound after her trip back to Missouri to get her house in order. Sam is off work this week, and it has been nice to bond as a little family unit.

We are going to be lame again this year and not send out Christmas cards, but we are enjoying receiving them, so keep 'em coming!

Okay, I thought he looked like Sam (I still think he has Sam's eyes) but the picture of him "smiling"--wow, that's your smile! So beautiful.
