Five on Friday

1.  Asa'a class finally got to celebrate Valentine's Day on Tuesday after being snowed out last week.  He was THRILLED with the cards & treats from his friends.  My favorite comment was this interpretation of the celebration:  "All my friends love me so they wanted to give me a party." Hehe. We do love you, Asa!

2.  We finally had a few mild days this week, so the kids got to play outside on Wednesday and Thursday.  I think they almost had forgotten what "outside" looks like. :). Sooo thankful for some fresh air.

3.  We continue to be blessed by friends and family with delicious meals.  Knowing dinner is "taken care of" is SUCH a huge blessing while wading through a new baby transition. We are soooo thankful.  What a gift!

4.  Lila had her 2 week check in at the doctor's office. She is gaining about an ounce/day which is fantastic! She was up to 8 lbs 3 oz (incidentally that is Asa's birth weight) and should be back to birth weight within a week! The nurse marveled over Lila's hair and her great growth. After 2 babies who have struggled to put on weight according to expectations (thanks, tongue tie & reflux), it is a tremendous relief that Lila is gaining well.  I know lots of moms who love check ups to learn their babies' weight, but past experience usually makes me a nervous wreck fearing my baby hasn't gained enough each time.  We thank the Lord that Lila is off to a great start.

5.  Lila has had a few night time stretches of sleep this week in the rock & play bassinet--out of arms!! Slowly but surely we are learning her likes and dislikes and what agrees most with her. :). She is three weeks old as of tonight! Time is flying!!

And here are a few pictures from this week of course. :)
