Cute Bath Pictures and Update on Pat

There's nothing I love more than a fresh-out-of-the-bath baby... all clean and soft and smelling like shampoo and baby lotion. LOVE it!

What I don't particularly love is giving the baths themselves, but luckily I married someone who likes to give kids and babies baths, so that worked out really well!

Nathan just loves his bathtime! This was a rare moment when he was actually in the tub by himself. Jesse and Brett seldom pass up an opportunity to strip down and jump in as soon as they hear the water running.

So, for Pat's update... most of you know that she was readmitted to the hospital on September 18. She has had two more smaller surgeries: first, to remove tissue from her mouth that was dead and infected, and second, to insert a feeding tube into her stomach. Overall she has been doing okay, but she's had a lot of ups and downs. We're not sure when she will be going home. I guess we're just trying to get through one day at a time. If anyone would like to write a letter or send a card or email, that would really help to cheer her up.

I'm off to bed now as I've been fighting a cold this week and have been feeling quite under-rested.. oh, and it's a PD Day tomorrow to boot. At least I won't have to get up at 6:30 to make lunches.
