They have been released from Hospital, and not sure when they are going home. Madison has been released by her doctor too... She has lost weight down to 6lb 7 oz, but is back to 6lb 10 oz now.. Dr. said not to worry unless she gets below 6lb 5ozs...
So, Jake and Ann and Andrew are on their way to Stillwater to get Jake a hair cut.. and then back here..
All I know for now.. later..

While we are on the subject of Mothers... Randi, Tammy, Heather, Ann, Great Grandma Moffat... and all the rest ....
Happy Mother's Day one and all!!! Here is a little poem that 'bout says it all....
A Mother’s Love
There is no love, like a mother’s love,
no stronger bond on earth…
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.
A mother’s love is forever strong,
never changing for all time…
and when her children need her most,
a mother’s love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one…
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they’ve done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother’s love lives on…
through many generations,
with God’s blessings on each one.
Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love…
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.

Thanks Mom's... One and all... for all you do... that which is seen and that you think we don't know about.. thanks for ALL you do all the time...

Andrew spent the night last night...
It's 2:30 am and he is wide awake.. on his "bed" wanting to watch cartoons... haha.. so am letting him so that as I work in my office next door... I am sure he will be asleep before long, but I have been wrong a bit.. haha....
Ann and Andrew made it home about 9:30 last night. I had finally given up on them and warmed up some leftovers, I had been thinking they might come home and we would go eat.. but after 4 hours.. I guess I was wrong.
Heather was tired, and I can not imagine who one must feel. My heart goes out to new moms who have babies who have family in the area and NO family in the area... I know from the farmer instinct in me that ladies need to have some rest after such, and know if it were me, I sure would want some peace and quite and would want some alone time to just let it soak in ... the wonder of birth. I know how nervous the "ladies" on the farm get when they are not "left alone" ... and some never get over it... which brings me to Heather. I think she has had lots of company from the get go... She is weak from all the bleeding, and giving birth, etc.. so I stayed home yesterday.. Hardest thing I have ever done in my life! This is not to say she doesn't want company because if you know the Moffat's, we love company!! haha.... Oh the problems of life! Imagine the opposite.. going through this awesome process and having NO one to walk through the door, for any reason... wow.. and that happens every day... rips your heart doesn't it...
But my little girl and her new daughter are doing great. Madison finally figured out what she needed to do on her end, and was eating really well last night Ann reported. Can not wait to see her again. They are to go home today, they think, so I may cancel my dentist appointment, and head to the hospital, to spend some time with them and help them move home if they need help. Paul's dad, Roy, is a deputy sheriff for Payne County, and retired Stillwater Police Officer, and full time farmer, and his mom, Joan, is the head nurse for a Stillwater "bone and joint" Dr. Couch, who is one of the best in Oklahoma (guess that makes her the best head nurse in Oklahoma, right? She is!), so they are always busy. Ann can get off about anytime, as she never misses work and has tons of annual leave and sick leave, too. She is her work's Miss Dependable, the one you can always count on, same with her mothering to the kids, she was and is the one that can always be counted on to be there! I am so blessed, and the family so very blessed that she was the rock the family foundation was built on.
Oh, found out last Wednesday night that Phil turned in his two weeks notice and is planning on getting back to his brick laying business.. he was so very good at it. I am so proud of him! He is so talented and loves the outdoors, and working for his self. He will do well, and he has his new wheel to make his pottery, so now he can be busy with both, plus his outstanding garden, and his awesome yard... and wonderful family... wow.. he might just be able to stay busy all the time, haha...
All I know for now. Today is to be moving day... for the Blankinship's. and all is well in the world.....
