She will be a great resource for caring for others one day in the victories she experiences in her own life and she will remember the support of both of you through it. A father's love for his daughter makes an incredible impact on her self-esteem and it looks like you too are a famous pair. May the Lord richly Bless you and keep you cradled in his everlasting loving arms, a refuge for all of you in which to hide under the wings of His protection. You are in my prayers as always. Numbers 6:25-27 25 "The LORD bless you and keep you; 26 the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; 27 the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

We will invite ourselves soon! Oliver turns 4 in a month, but we've been going through the battle of wills for a year already! Girl vs boy? or stubborn vs. stubborn? Clint and I took this enlightening teacher/parenting class together last Spring called Conscious Discipline (google Becky Bailey, Loving Guidance) and as soon as we stopped believing we could get anything done with Ollie around (who knew?) and give him the connections he was looking for, he threw fewer tantrums. Remembering to feed him and put him to bed helps, too. love you all, Ellie So glad to hear about life in VT.

I enjoy reading the updates. Happy Thanksgiving to you, from those of us in Maine. Tell Emily that I did my first triathlon in So. Berwick (The Pumpkinman Sprint in 1:43) and felt Bill's spirit with me the entire way. Hugs to Maddie. I wish you well, Kathy You have a lot to be thankful for! I enjoy reading the updates.

What a wonderfully written view into the world of a four year old! Your positive and insightful appreciation of her world and the 'intrusion' of her treatments are so touching and heartwarming. We are just so glad to hear that Maddie is doing so well - and how important a little thing like hair clips can be. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving to all of you - we miss you in Maine!
