We received word from the doctor this evening

After the boys and I got home from a hard basketball practice and sat in front of the TV to watch our favorite college basketball team (KSU Wildcats) play Texa A&M, Chrisy gave me the results from the doctor visit this afternoon. The jaundice is definetely going down. The reading today was 11, down from 15. Our next doctor visit for Cassie is in 3 weeks.

C.J. and I talked. He said he had a good day. He passed another rocket math quiz. C.J. said that his teacher told him that he will be the first student to pass all of the multiplication and division quizes. He thinksa she is having to make up some extra quizes. I don't think she minds because she is also a Wildcat.

Chandler said that he had a good day too. He was kinda tired because of the basketball practice and they worked on handwriting in school.

Wildcats are up at half.

And life goes on . . . Cassie is 8 days old.

The boys earned their black belts in Tae-Kwan-Do the end of last year. Last night they started elite training. Elite training consists of some skillful kicks and strikes.

Cassie had her first doctors visit this afternoon. Her doctor said that she is looking good but still wanted to monitor her jaundise. They took some blood and said that they would call us back tonight with the results. The doctor was quite suprised that she was over her birth weight in 1 week with just breast feeding. She is now upto 7lbs. 5 oz.

Chrisy is feeling good. It seems like as soon as she gets asleep someone calls and wakes her up. She said that she almost feels like a zomby with the lack of sleep.
