Parker saying one of his favorite answers to a question above - “I don’t fink (think) so…”. Ridiculously cute.

Aunt Cat again - I just got to spend a week up in Nashville with my family and help out while Amy my sister is in the hospital with Evan (finishing a third week in PICU and now a regular bed with viral pheumonia) and while my parents are at work. So I mostly got to babysit the ‘main man’ when he wasn’t in preschool - the one and only Mr. P.

Parker is a really great kid - super amicable, plays well with others, incredibly smart, and doesn’t get into too much trouble for a two year old. He’s doing great with ‘mommy’ being in the hospital with the little brother he barely knows. Honestly, I still don’t think that he understands that Evan is for keeps.

As you all know, I’m not the hugest fan of kids in general, but that one is a winner. Uncontested.

Here he is playing with his dinosaurs. Pictured are ‘the mean one’ and ‘the scary one’. I think ‘the good one’ (a pink brontosaurus) is still recovering from running around the house with Parker…

And finally, one blooper/outtake/this-is-how-he-looks-most-of-the-time shot:

Evan

Aunt Cat here!

Not too long ago I posted about my new nephew - Evan David Martin. The poor little guy did pretty good for the first two weeks or so of life and then caught viral pneumonia. :(

He’s been in the Pediatric ICU for almost three weeks now and finally seems to be getting better. He’s been moved to a regular room in the last few days and the doctors hope that he might get discharged sometime next week. He’s still plugged up to oxygen and a feeding tube and a bunch of other wires and such to monitor everything. He seems to be out of the woods though! (Sorry for the rough picture - I took it with my computer camera…)

I’ve spent the week up here hanging out with her other son Parker - who has been dealing really well with Amy being gone to the hospital all the time.

Please be praying for him!
