No News is Good News!

I'm happy to report that the Showell household is thriving! Oliver is getting fatter and stronger by the minute. Our next hospital visit will be May 1st, when the staff will place a "Mic-Key" button in his stomach. It should be a same-day deal if the procedure goes as planned.

We had to say goodbye to a family member recently: Margie the chicken. She lived a good life and has gone to that special place where all birds get to fly. We have three baby chickens ordered, and we are accepting suggestions for names. (I'm not sure if we should name a fourth chicken after Aunt Brianna.)

Finally, mark your calendars: Alex and I have April birthdays: April 20th and April 30th, respectively.

Thanks again for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
