Joseph Lund- 20 pounds of fun

Joseph is doing very well! He is gaining weight. He takes up much of our time but he is well worth it. He has started eating baby food and some formula. He loves to laugh and his sisters make him scream with delight as they laugh with him. He has been out and about more and seems to tolerate it very well. We took him on a short trip to attend the company board meeting.
I am thankful to those who still check into this site. I am sorry I have not written in awhile -- but to reward your diligence here are some new pictures:

We are getting ready to celebrate Joseph's first EASTER. This will be a special Easter as we recall the sacrifice our God has made for us. It will be a celebration of Life. We hope this Easter is a great one for you. God Bless.
Kenny, Mary and the kids

A Deep Breath


It is time to slow down and take a deep breath. Joseph has been breathing better through his new and improved nostril extenders. He is starting to get back into a better sleep mode and is generally happy again now that the recovery from surgery is almost complete. It is AWESOME to hear him breathe and the familiar whistle noise from the tubes is back. Joseph is able to feed well and he is putting weight back on.

Through the kindness of a great friend we have been able to take a much needed family vacation to a nearby beach. We are enjoying a four day get-a-way and it has been great to regroup. It is especially wonderful to have the whole family together and not be running around to the next event. We played a marathon game of Monopoly and Mary did needlepoint. The girls have enjoyed the undivided time with mom and dad. I even feel like my heart rate has slowed to its proper speed and I am able to allow myself to actually get a bit bored. Being bored---I never thought I could enjoy it so much! We used to complain when we were young about there being nothing to do and whining to our parents, "I'm bored!" We never realized how good we had it! We wish you some nice, peaceful, relaxing, boring days ahead.
