We are the Friesen's: Luke Update....

Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9

From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28

May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33

God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

Luke Update....

Right before Thanksgiving, I made a blog post about Luke being "out of sorts." Well, he was in that he did end up with a cold -- actually, we all did. The evening after I made that post, Luke had a fever of 101. With some Tylenol, he did sleep through the night. The next morning, he had a fever of 100. Fortunately, throughout that day, it did go back down to normal, and it stayed down. So, for Thanksgiving, he was feverless. He's definitely had some congestion since then, but he's on the mend. The humidifier in his room and the humidifer in our family room definitely do help.

Here are some stats from his four-month appointment --which was two days before Thanskgiving.

Height: 26" (84th Percentile)
Weight: 17 lb. 0 oz. (85th percentile)
Head Circumference: 17" (73rd percentile)

Everything that day was fine with Luke, and we are so very thankful for that.

He has started to eat rice cereal now. He's doing fairly well with it. Here's a photo of the "eating."

The other really nice thing that Luke is doing now is sleeping a full 12 hours at night. He goes down around 7:30 or so, and he gets up around 7:30 or so. Marc and I certainly do appreciate him doing that. I really appreciate my mornings with him. He's generally very happy when he wakes up -- especially after he has his bottle. I'm so incredibly thankful that I am able to spend each morning with him.
