Update on our son

Hi everyone, Ian Frank has been growing away, at last weighing he was nearly 7 and a half pounds! He is officially beyond his projected birth date by a couple of weeks now, too.

Here are some new pictures of Ian, you'll see from the progression that he no longer needs any breathing assistance at all (not even the nasal cannula) but is still being fed part of his milk through a feeding tube.

He is eating more and more of his food on his own by drinking thickened milk from a bottle and we are optimistic that he will come home in a couple of weeks.

Summer project

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. A lot has been keeping me busy!

One of my summer projects was to create a stone patio behind the house where there had been a 4-inch-deep pile of pea gravel. I figured I could do the whole project in the week between spring and summer quarters. Unforunately (and predictably), it took me much longer, and I would still be working on it (or procrastinating fom it) without the help of my dad and my father-in-law.
