Go Big Red and Go Evening!

We are super fans of Evening, and it seems that the Big Red hockey team is too! You may or may not know that we love Big Red hockey. When we returned to Grandma Rose's house on Tuesday, there was a package for Evening from the Cornell Hockey team. Inside was the picture above and the sign that they are holding (it says "Hi Ruth and Scott. Get Well Evening") that is autographed by the whole team. Many, many thanks to Beth and Tim McKinney for organizing this gift for sweet Evening. It will immediately be posted in her room and her Mom will visit it often!!

Evening is happily adjusting to life at Grandma's house. She seems to be making up for lost time in the eating department and is keeping Ruth busy 'round the clock. She must take after both of us and loves to eat! Her days and nights are a little flip-flopped now, but we are giving her a break...she did have heart surgery only a week ago! She left the hospital at 8.5 pounds (down 1 pound from admission) but already feels like she might be well over 9 pounds again. She's catching up on her sleep (during the day) and practicing her smile more and more. Recently we learned that she likes her music loud - especially when Johnny Cash is rocking! Even at 3:00 am, with no sleep and holding a howling baby, she makes us blissful.

Thank you to all for your unending support. When Evening meets you and shows you her smile that she has been practicing, you will see what prayer and positive energy is capable of.
