ANOTHER trip to Denver


After we got back from our family reunion last week, I immediately had to work for 3 12 hour shifts.
It made for a long week.
I had to look at this picture frequently to remind myself that we 
did have some together time at the reunion.



I finished my shift on Thursday evening.


On Friday early morning I picked up Candice and we drove to Denver.
10 long hours in the car.

But it was completely worth it.

Lucy is still in the NICU.
She's still having trouble getting enough nourishment so she has a feeding tube through her nose.
They will have her drink what she will, then they finish putting the rest through the tube.

She's still an itty bitty mite, but almost 6 pounds!

Here Candice is holding her little niece while Lynsey finishes the feeding.

Little Miss Lilly has been home for about 2 weeks.


Big yawn!

Candice loved holding them both!
We all wish they lived closer so we could snuggle and spoil to our hearts content!

Lynsey called me today and told me that the doctor was going to let Lucy come home tomorrow!!!
85 days!
Wow.
Now I wish I were there all over again.
