Immunizations started today…
2 new youtube videos: one was singing for our church, both services on Sunday, the girl’s did such a great job. They asked to do it- NO I AM NOT A STAGE MOM! I would never make them do something, they are brave and have no nerves (mommy, on the other hand was very nervous!) Enjoy it:

the other: is of her silly eyes…

*Note: Alexis loves the inside of Oreo’s, wakes up asking for them and all day…AAGH! We are limiting them! But she puts an oreo on her head and says:
“Look, mom- I’m a COOKIE-HEAD!” (she’s so silly)
Austin says that the reason Alexis likes our pediatrician Dr Oriel, is because they think it’s pronounced Dr. OREO….
Well they started today…a new appointment “a WELL baby check” what a strange wonderful thing to hear. She got 4 shots, has a little fever tonight and is pretty fussy…but so far, so good. I would hate to see a reaction to some “normal” childhood thing after all that she has had injected into her little body. She’s a champ!
I’ve been having some neck problems and could use a little prayer, I have 3 bulging discs and the curve of my neck is “backwards” going the wrong way. I’m trying all sorts of things, i had a second epidural injection in the spinal column today. It seems to help, but temporarely hurts right now. So, us Douglas girls are a little fussy- my neck has given me extreme headaches and i’ve been a lot shorter with the girls and JB, please pray that it will improve (for everyone else’s sake)
While I write this, the child I wrote about a couple of months ago,who’s NB (neuroblastoma) had spread at an incredibely fast rate, has passed away today at the age of 3 1/2. He leaves behind a 1 year old brother and two amazing parents and countless numbers of friends and relatives. We only had the privelage to meet him and his family one time, but his mother has been very candid on his website and encouraging to all of us parents. His family was also involved in starting an organization in his honor to raise funds for NB research at Seattle Children’s. The legacy this child has left will never be forgotten. We are all touched by his life in some way or another….ps…IT’S NOT FAIR! No little one should have to suffer in this way. PLEASE- pray with me for his parents and family. They need PRAYER and lots of IT right now.
In closing, “normal” shots and a sore neck pales in comparrison to what is taking place in other households.
