They spend endless hours digging in the dirt for worms. They then promptly take those worms and throw them to the chickens. It amazes me how even chickens can learn to recognize sounds or voices.

Update on Catherine

Posted by on
Catherine is continuing to do well. They changed her feedings from continuous to every 3 hours over 2 hours (into the G-tube). She is tolerating them well, no spit ups or vomitting. Grandma Hahn got to give her a bottle today and she took all of it! She weighs 2970 grams which is almost 6 # 9 oz.

Here are some pictures Grandpa Dave put together.

Thank you for your continued prayers!
