Here is all of us neighbors in the NICU. Traci & Claire, Blanqui & Joshua, and Mandy & Hannah. I will always remember the day that I walked by Hannah to see Claire and Hannah was screaming. When I told Crystal (our nurse) that is was Hannah, she ran right over to check her out and she was sleeping peacefully, then as soon as Crystal left, Hannah would let out another scream and again Crystal would check and Hannah was still sleeping. This went on a few times before Crystal believed me that it was Hannah screaming. Blanqui and I spent some time together outside of the NICU and had a wonderful dinner and a fun time shopping on evening. Watching these three grown will be awesome, since they all started out so small and are doing so great.




This past weekend was the NICU Reunion Picnic up in Billings. This cute little boy is Joshua and he was our neighbor in the NICU for several weeks. But as you see here, we found out that our little princess is a bit of a bully. She thought Joshua was just funny. She would look at him and smile and then tried to beat him up, but Joshua was a little gentleman and just took it. It was so wonderful to see some of our nurses and doctors and how wonderful all the little babies are doing. What amazing stuff those nurses and doctors do in the NICU. Thanks for a wonderful time!!

This is Claire's new rubber ducky bath tub that our good friends Kevin and Renee got for her. She loves it. When she sees it she gets excited and then you just have to give her a bath. We just have to watch her because once in a while she gets going too fast and she about bounces herself out of the duck. Thanks Kevin & Renee





Claire's favorite thing to do these days is suck on her feet and toes. Claire's six month checkup had her at 12 lbs 6 oz. So she is growing right up. She is very close to crawling, but gets where she needs to go by rolling.
