Life's an Adventure

I'm not sure where the month of April has gone. It certainly was an adventurous month for our family. We rejoiced at the birth of our 13th grandchild - Mya Elizabeth King. All 7 lbs. 4 oz. of her. Her big sister, Ava, who is 18 months old is learning to share Mommy and Daddy's attention. Three days prior to delivery, our daughter learned the cause of her short of breathness- a partially collapsed left lung. Despite this, the delivery went beautifully.

Then 10 days after the delivery, we learned what was causing the collapsed lung- a tumor. So off we go on another family adventure. Tim has been  holding the Cabin together while I have been back and forth from Montoursville, watching the little ones while Ruth goes through testing. She goes to Sloan-Kettering on May 16th to see the surgeon. We are so grateful to God there is no other tumors anywhere else.

So if you come and visit The Cabin you may see me with a baby pack on and an 18 month old helper while Mom recuperates from surgery. As long as we can keep Ava from swimming with the fish in the pond out front, we'll be doing great!

The Massarelli fountains are moving well. Don't wait too long to check them out. I have been enjoying rose-breasted grosbeaks- male and female, indigo buntings, gold finches, and a white throated sparrows. They love the black oil sunflower seeds and the nyjer seeds I throw out on the porch roof. We'll have seeds all year long. Mother's Day is Sunday the 8th. We have some great gift ideas. See you soon.
