• Carmen is well. No fever, minimal congestion and appears comfortable. She is sound asleep right beside me.
• Lauren who makes me laugh everyday.
• Dave. His coping mechanism for all that is going on is to spend money. While that distresses me, I am SO thankful that he spends money rather than running away to a less stressful situation. (Oh, I think I should add that his other coping mechanism is watching Andy Stanley sermons!)
• I am 27 weeks pregnant today! That means Baby Hope is about 2 lbs. and 14 inches long. If born today, she would have an 85% chance of survival. (I’m not planning for her to be born today, just thought I would share that statistic!)
• A happy birthday. Thank you for all the birthday wishes and thanks to my girls and Dave for making my birthday-on-the-couch enjoyable!
• My in-laws. They drove from NY yesterday to help while Dave is in California on a business trip for the next few days.
• Webkinz. I am having a blast earning KinzCash for Lauren while playing Eager Beaver Adventure Park.
• Steven Curtis Chapman’s new album about losing his daughter, Maria. Tomorrow, I will post more about this amazing album.

Thanks to Dan for the wonderful dinner on Friday! We love salads. Thanks to Roxana for last night’s delicious dinner. That asparagus was the best I’ve ever tasted! (It tasted smoked. Yummy!)
