Good news!

Lamentations 3:22-23

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

²² The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, 

For His compassions never fail. 

²³ They are new every morning; 

Great is Your faithfulness.

Baby Andie is doing great,  better  faster than I ever imagined she could.
She has had no more apnea / breathing problems since she the helicopter ride.
Today she is eating some of her mom's milk and it seems to agree with her.
And today we got to hold her for a little bit.
Yesterday we only got to see through a little window.  

Andie is spending time under a nice lamp for jaundice treatment.
She just relaxed under it like she was a tropical beach sunbathing.  

she is still tiny - that is my finger she is holding
but it is so amazing and encouraging that Andie has made so much progress in just 36 hours.

Thank you all for your prayers and kind comments.  

You all are so sweet and I appreciate every one of you.  

Please pray for our new granddaughter

Andie Elise was born this morning,  early and tiny.  

All her vitals and tests are good but she is just 5 pounds 1 ounce 

and she has stopped breathing in her sleep 4 times.  

She took a helicopter ride from the hospital in southern Oklahoma to the big childrens hospital in Oklahoma City and will be there for awhile. 

She is a beautiful little girl,  she has her daddy's blue eyes and long toes.  

We are already head over heels in love with her.  

in the picture,  that is her momma's hand by Andie's leg.  

and momma Sheena's hand are not very big 

Please pray that Andie will grow and breath.

How I make pizza crusts for the freezer

Traditional Pizza Dough - recipe from Zojirushi

1 1/4 C water

1 1/2 T olive oil

3 3/4 C bread flour

1 1/2 T sugar

1 1/2 t salt

2  t yeast

This will make 2 big 16 inch crusts or 4 smaller crusts, about 12 inches each.  

after you roll out the crusts,  let them rise a bit while the oven preheats
be sure to dock them -poke holes in them - so they don't puff up all over like a pillow
I used a big meat fork

bake the crusts at 500 degrees for just 5 minutes

wrap each crust in plastic wrap
or put in bags if you have bags they will fit in
Then just put them in the freezer.

When you want pizza,  get your sauce and toppings ready.
Unwrap your crust and top it as desired - no need to thaw.
Then just bake at 450 degrees until done.

I make this in a bread machine but I am sure it would be great done by hand or in mixer.
