Alright, who prayed for snow?

On Friday night most of our yard was bare, which is unusual for a February in Minnesota. That all changed with the snow storm this weekend. We probably got like a foot in the last 36 hours or so. If Isaac and I are up to making a snowman, we'll be sure to post a picture.

Trimming Expenses

We're always on the lookout for ways to save a few bucks. Tonight Noah and his mom demonstrated one of my favorites. A few years ago we got a video from the library that demonstrated the basics of cutting hair. Now haircuts are one thing we don't have to budget for at all.

3 weeks

Lydia is now in her 3rd week of life, and doing very well. She sleeps great - during the day, and sometimes at night. Here bilirubin was checked again a few days ago and went up just a little. That's not a good thing, but still not too much of a concern. We'll just try to give her plenty of sun until things are normal.

Liverwurst?

We're not using the light blanket anymore, but still watching Lydia's bilirubin level. It has been pretty steady for over a week. It's not a concerning level, but should be going down soon once her liver is fully functional.

Isaac has enjoyed some little talks with the new baby, Noah is still learning the meaning of the word 'gentle.'
