You can go to ChangeDetection.com to receive automatic notification of when this page is updated. Simply enter the address (http://personal.bellsouth.net/~kevcrowe) in the URL field and enter your email address in the other field. I haven't tested it out yet, so don't blame me if you get new SPAM mail from unknown sources if you decide to you this resource. In skimming over their Privacy Policy, it basically states that they won't sell your email address to Spammers; they will SPAM you themselves and share your email address with the webmaster of the site you're monitoring. It's a tool for laziness, but I thought I'd at least provide the link.
I've been using Google.com as my search engine of choice for quite a while now. They have a nifty utility you can download to put the Google search bar right on your web browser toolbar. Saves having to go to the Google main page every time. I installed the one with Advanced features. Haven't played around with it much, but it's cool so far.

SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST!
A close friend of my wife's from college had a son a few days before Morgan was born. Kolton Hudson was born with a condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Being a new parent of a special needs child myself, my heart aches for Jason and his wife for this unexpected obstacle in their life. He was only home a short time before it was discovered he was having great difficulty breathing. Kolton received his surgery and hospital care in Michigan; far, far from their West Point, MS home. Kolton is back home now and has his own website. There are many pictures of Kolton, information about his condition, and updates from Jason. Please keep the Hudson family in your prayers.

** Added a few more pictures.
** Made thumbnail images larger.
** Still working on the new front page. Can't seem to get the top frame to load correctly.
** Started on 'My Faith Journey'. This is where I ramble on about events that have occured in my life and their lasting impact, my struggle to accept Christ, my viewpoints on religion in general... you get the idea. I might post what I've documented so far by this weekend.
** Updated resume. Need to re-format and post the link. Hey, everyone needs an online resume.
** Started my other page... the hobbies and such page. Not much to see yet.

I've finally posted a few newer pictures and created a thumbnail of the images. I've also taken off several to make room for pictures I will be taking from the video tapes. I doubt I'll post any video clips, though. Watching a video of Morgan sleep or squirm around just isn't all that riveting.
Morgan is on her third formula. We've switched from Similac with Iron to Enfamil Lacto-Free to Enfamil Pregestimil. She is doing far better with the new formula than she did with the first two. She takes pretty much the whole amount now, whereas before she went two to three feedings before she would finally take in a whole bottle because her stomach was so messed up.
She's enrolled in the First Steps early intervention program now. The group of therapists we chose will come to the house within the next couple of weeks to evaluate her and discuss what therapy, if any, they think Morgan needs right now. The group also does all therapy sessions in the comfort of your own home, daycare, grandparents' house... wherever the child is. We felt this would help us feel more comfortable with it as well as Morgan once she starts to become more aware of her surroundings.
