Who are all these people, and why do they keep taking my picture?

Hi everybody. Well the Nexavar arrived on Wednesday, and Linda is slowly increasing the daily dose; she's up to half the final recommended dose, so it's too soon to tell how effective it will be, and also too soon to tell how severe the side effects will be. In the meantime, Linda has had to deal with more fevers than usual, which tend to make her feel really crappy.



The week's main event of course was the arrival of Elliot, the cutest baby you ever laid eyes on. Oh yeah, Andrea and Chris came too. Good thing, 'cause it's been a while since Jim and Linda took care of a 5 week old baby. Thanks to Andrea's friend Susan (the Cincinnati Susan), who lent us a whole bunch of her baby stuff, and what she didn't have, she went out and bought.


A lot of people stopped by to see THE BABY, and Elliot showed off for them all, eating and sleeping and burping and pooping his heart out. Needless to say, we had a great time. The Talleys left yesterday, and Tony comes back from a trip to Madison tonight, so we have had lots of quality time with the kids.

































These are just a few of the people Elliot entertained. A lot more pictures are on Flickr.com. Search "wimmersfamily" under "People".

Love ya,
Linda and Jim

I LOVE that picture of Elliot smiling at Linda. How cute is that?! He certainly is quite the charmer. I'm very glad Andrea and Chris were able to bring him and visit for so long. Also, I was more than happy to provide any and all baby needs. You know I would do anything for you guys!

What wonderful pictures -- Elliot likes to pose! The way he is looking at his grandma is a truly amazing sign of love!

I have been praying for you with each class again this year (the return of the "army of boys") and today was the first day another student took up the petition before I could put it out there. That is a big deal for a freshman guy - you even influence those who have not met you.

Hope that this new drug works well and I am THRILLED to see so many pictures of loved ones enjoying basking in the baby light!

Love ya!
Lora :)
