Mom did an awesome job taking care of the girls while dad was out of town all week on business. She really is a great mother. Dad didn't know exactly how much I would miss his 3 girls...but I know now and it hurts being away from them for long periods of time. I would have hated it if I would have missed B's first real crawl.
The girls got to go to their NICU reunion this weekend. It was a ton of fun. They got to see a lot of NICU mates there. As always, it is easy for Mom N' Dad to get pics while on the comfy confines of the living room, but when it comes to taking pics anywhere else...we get like some social inept fool that can't operate a camera. Anyways, we are a very blessed family. There was one boy there in some contraption that doubles as a wheelchair. It carried a portable ventilator, dialysis machine, and feeding tube. This boy was a prison inside his own body. Other boys and girls just had the "Preemie Look." I can't describe it, but there is a specific look that most preemies have and compared to others, out girls look full term.
"B" about to crawl. She has every piece down but can't put step 1, step 2 and step 3 in correct order. She stumbles and bumbles around like Dad getting up from a too-long nap!
"And in this corner, weighing in at 18 lbs, The Master of Diaper Disaster, The Power Pooper - Baby B!" Out girls love to get in the same crib and do a little Greco-Roman wrestling.
"B" just chilling in her swing. We can't keep her still for anything. She is our little wiggle monkey.
Just too flippin' cute not to post this pic!

Hey y'all, the girls are getting so big and so cute! I love the picture in the red dresses in the crib. What great smiles! Hope y'all are doing okay and surviving the TX heat. It's only in the 70's here...ahhhh.
Glad the girls managed while Daddy was away. I'm sure they are so glad you are home.
That's great that ya'll got the opportunity to go back to the NICU reunion. I so know exactly what you mean about the preemies and I thank God every day that despite our babies coming into the world at 26 1/2 weeks that they are doing so well and look so well. I cry every time we go up to the hospital with Candice up at Children's and see all the other kids. It's so sad. Really puts things in perspective. And people always ask me, how do you do it? And I'm thinking...I have it good. It could be so much worse. We are certainly busy but we are blessed! And what a blessing your little angels are!! They are just adorable. Happy Summer!
