Monday
We received your long letter after the phone call & are looking forward to seeing you next weekend. Thursday we are to go to see Dr. Bowan for Katie's 6 wks checkup. I hope all is OK & nothing prevents our coming.
Katie has a slight breaking out on her face which doesn't want to clear up – don't know whether its due to her orange juice or what. Other than that, she's fine.
Ruth Krickbaum called Saturday night. She's been teaching in Maumee, Ohio & was visiting Jeanne & Ellen over the weekend. She came over yesterday (Sunday) morning & had breakfast with us. Katie got off schedule some how when she wouldn't eat at 8:30 AM & would only take enough to last her about an hour from then on. Then was up continually from about 5:30 PM to 1:30 AM this morning insisting on everything I had and three bottles – first bottles she's had with the exception of her lone nightly one for a long time.
I think Ruth thought we hadn't been feeding her for weeks but we had her out in her carriage for about 1/2 -3/4 hour Sat. morning. It may have affected her appetite.
The Franklin Circle Christian Church (where Mr. Hoke Dickinson is) called to say that they would be playing the chimes for Catherine yesterday morning. The first Sunday of every month they do this for all the new babies, announcing the ones that have arrived, etc. We had wanted to get up there – either in the car, or if weather permitted to take Katie in her carriage and sit outside – or even just one of us be inside but Ruth came about 10:00 so we didn't get there.
We are glad to hear that the Doctor in New York was so encouraging. Will Bob be going there for the operation if he recommends it?
It snowed off & on all day yesterday but today looks like a pretty spring day with the sun so bright altho I think it quite cold. We hope good weather is with us over the weekend.
Mrs. McGonagle called last week. Did you hear about Jack Greewell going to Sharon, much better position, etc. I had Katie on my lap & finally had to hang up for she had a huge bowel movement which even included the chair – was most of the rest of the day cleaning it up. she's waking now. See you soon.
Love, Jean & Harold
