Kindermusik and Update on Henry

Update on Henry... Jessica posted this in the afternoon today...

"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." (Luke 12:6, 7 NIV). Today we are thankful for: 1) Henry is OFF the ventilator and breathing well. The surgeon's look of happy shock was priceless upon learning this. He marveled at this "little Hercules" and we marvel at the answered prayers of thousands of kind souls. 2) We can snuggle beside him now in the bed. This morning I laid my hand on his warm, soft face as we drifted into a nap. We can watch him nod or listen to a few whispered words. Ian was able to hold him in a rocker for 20 minutes and we got our first smile!! 3) our 2-year-old daughter is thriving under the care of my parents and sitters at times when we are both away, this gives tremendous peace. 4) God is present and doing powerful work. You all, His body, have lifted us with each kind word, each prayer, and every act of service. Specifics on Henry's diagnosis will come to us down the road, but we know that in the face of any prognosis, our Father remains faithful, powerful, and evident. You all have made our hearts burst with gratitude. God bless you and your families.

Please continue to pray for Henry and his family.  Every little thought and prayer counts.  

Well in our neck of the woods we had an ok day.  We went to Kindermusik tonight and had lots of fun.  We played with hula-hoops tonight and pretended we were washing machines.  It was pure entertainment to watch...Olivia may just be getting a hula-hoop from Santa! Olivia participated in the scrubbing segment tonight where we pretended to be scrubbing/cleaning...last week she said no and refused to do it.  Tonight she took the sponge and did it ! YAY! Olivia also had a pretty lengthy conversation with her animals before her nap...I captured just a bit before she fell asleep.  She keeps saying, "Goodnight Olivia." Then there is either poo poo or choo choo...I have no idea what she was talking about! Also Olivia learned her first letter....O! She can identify it in her name, on a block, and something that holds her toys!

Hula Hoop fun!
