marching marching

This note was waiting for us when we arrived this morning. (There are ant stickers "marching" up the side of the bottle) That's a good descriptor of what we've been doing lately. left. left. left-right-left. And we march. Step by step, Logan is getting older and stronger and closer to going home. Step by step, Mommy and Daddy are getting closer to feeling adequate to take him home and be responsible for him. Sometimes it becomes methodical and we just step to the beat, moving forward. Other times, our legs get tired and its hard to pick up our knees and keep marching. But we do. Sometimes we miss a step and fall down. But then we get back up and keep marching.
Its been a great weekend thus far. Yesterday my dear friends hosted a baby shower. Thanks for all of you who thought of us and took time out of your weekend to share part of the day. We received many nice things for Logan (and a ton of great books!) and it was great to see all of you. Thanks to friends and family who traveled, especially in the nasty heat.
We've been utilizing Sunday as a day of rest, so I anticipate sitting in the recliner next to Logan for most of the day. Dale says he has some special shopping to do. . . we'll see what that entails. It's been a soggy, damp, morning; perfect for cuddling up and reading stories, and I think we will do just that.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Ps 118:24

Love to you! Dale, Michelle, & Logan
