Good News!

Great news from Minnesota: Henry has been taken off his ventilator and his blood pressure has gone down!! We are now just waiting for him to wake up to asses everything else and we hope this will be soon rather than later! God is SO good and we must remember we are on his clock and not our own.
I have spent the day at my cousins'. I tidied up the entire first floor and then ironed the dining room table cloth. While it is very clean to begin with I figured I would do one more sweep since so many people are going to be in and out over the next few days. All the families of Edina have and are going out of their way for us. Henry's website has had over 3000 hits in just two days and we are having dinners brought over for the next week! What a blessing for this family! No small act goes unnoticed and we are all extremely grateful for everything. If you are into any type of sport of have children that are please remember to ALWAYS wear a helmet. That saved Henry's life!!
On a lighter note I wanted to share my recent purchase with you: The Nifty for Fifty Lilly Shift!

When I saw this in our look book a few months back I knew I HAD to own it. It is pink and green, it is a shift and it is part of the Spring Jubilee collection. There is also another spring Jubilee dress I adore, but I had to start with just one. This is my birthday gift to myself and I cannot wait to wear it after Easter!
