Dearhearts in Texas

Last Thursday we went to the NICU reunion party at Arlington Memorial Hospital. Every year in September, they have a reunion party for their graduates. We were delighted to see Dr. Tisdell and many of Becca’s nurses. It was so fun to “show” Becca off to the people who took care of her during her first three months. I told Becca she was going to make a lot of people happy – and she did. The nurses did a wonderful job with the party – it was a camping theme. Becca absolutely loved the “Big Horsey!” and the activities. We love the NICU staff for all they did for us and Becca. They truly are some of the dearest hearts in Texas. (The nurse who is the “head planner” of these reunions – Toni – recently started a business called Tiny Starts with gift baskets for families of newborns, especially preemies.)

 

My youngest brother, Joey, visited us at the end of his training at Deloitte University. We enjoyed spending time with him and were glad he was able to extend his trip to visit with us. Becca liked Uncle Joey right away. When we went on a walk after supper she wanted “Joey come.” We’re really proud of all Joey’s accomplishments. He is working for Deloitte as a federal consultant. My little brother living in D.C. – wow.

Our church picnic was on Sunday. Becca enjoyed the playground at church. She got to slide with Dillon and Meaghan. She is also enjoying playing with Amaris at church on Sundays in nursery.

The last picture is of Becca helping me make cookies . . . you can tell which part her enjoyed the best!

  1. What a fun, busy week. The NICU reunion is so special each year – for the parents and the staff. I’m sure the kids enjoy it, too. AND, what a wonderful tribute to your great grandma. The Lord blessed her with a long, productive life – for Him and her family. See you soon!

  2. Her hair is getting so long. I love it! Picts are super cute once again. Look forward to seeing y’all in three months!

  3. I LOVE the pictures of Becca with Joey. So precious. I noticed the Dutch blitze cards were out….did Josh have a cushioned surface with a no glare surface to play on 🙂 miss you all so much. Hope to see you soon.
