Sleep, Sleep, Sleep

Just a quick update....Isabelle had three uninterrupted nights in a row. Last night she woke up at 4:15 and was just awake and wanted to play, but we didn't have to feed to get her back to sleep. Ben did an awesome job trying to settle her down, and she eventually talked herself to sleep aroun 5:15. At a few points I even heard squeals of delight from Bellie..."Daddy, it's so fun that you are up - let's play!!". So even though we were tired out this morning, we still feel like four nights in a row with no feeding is a step in the right direction! Part of me is thinking, we will just get this "no feeding" thing down, and then we'll have to work on "no playing" in the night. It's all worth it for the little Belle.

We've been having huge fun with this generous gift from Mrs. Marge at church. We were visiting her and she suggested that we take this home with us. Mrs. Marge is special to us because she's fighting cancer, like Grandma Marge did, and they share the same name. Mrs. Marge also plays the piano and organ. Isabelle loves her little piano and plays it every day. (Sharon - she's wearing the outfit you gave her.)

Melody, what a cute picture. Just another step in her musical career!
Leo and I saw Sharon and John with Dominic and Heaven at our church on Sunday--visiting in Ottawa for Thanksgiving. They were very busy with those two lovely children! It was great to see them. Thinking of you, Cathy
