Comments

Hi all. We have had several people tells us that they are having problems leaving comments, so I will try and explain how to do it.
First - Just click on where is say " 0 comments" at the end of each blog. The number will vary depending on how many comments have been left, so it could say "4 Comments". The little envelope next to that is for emailing someone that days blog.
Second - At the bottom of the comments window that opened up, there is a space to type in your comments, so type away.
Third - Below where you typed in the comment you have several options. If you have a gmail account, sign in. But if you do not have an account, select the Name/URL button. It will then give you the option to type in your name, the URL is optional.
Fourth/Final - Click on the "Publish Your Comments" button at the very bottom.
We love hearing from the people that are reading this so please leave us comments if you like. It is also something we will save, so Calla can read someday.


So a blog would not be complete without a Calla update and a few photos.


This morning Calla weighed in at 3 lbs. 11 oz. and she is just over 17 inches long/tall now.
We got a little more information about her heart condition. She has a couple of openings in the lining between the two lower chambers of the heart. One of these is in the muscle section, which will fill in as the muscles get bigger. There is another one that is in the non-muscular portion, which we will have to monitor. They are both very small opening. We will meet with a pediatrics heart specialist from Portland in the middle of June.

So all is well and we are enjoying our new digs. It was nice and quite last night, so I brought in my mandolin and played some tunes for Calla. I am now learning all the childrens tunes, I have London Bridges, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and Row, Row, Row your Boat down now. I should have my Grandpa Nelson's Mandolin back from the shop this week, so I can start playing that for her. My Aunt Sandy gave it to me last month when I saw her in Ohio for Courtney's baby shower, I was blown away. It is a 1912 Washburn Bowback Mandolin that he played and now I get to play, pretty cool. Maybe Calla will play it also when she gets older!

We got some better pictures last night with the lilly. Is that what you had in mind Charlotte?

How do I look in my little stawberry shortcake outfit?
