Cloey playing with the bubble blower. She really enjoyed this toy.
This picture was taken right before we left the picnic. Mommy and Emma have one big thing in common - we DON'T like to be hot. At this point Emma had had enough of the heat.

The NICU Reunion was lots of fun today. Although it was VERY hot - at one point someone commented that it was 94 degrees. We all had a good time - Cloey enjoyed playing the games and Jason and I got to see some of Emma's nurses from her stay in the NICU and even one of her doctors. It was a wonderful reminder of how far Emma has came from March 31st when she was born and our world changed. It was a reminder of the blessings that we recieved that Emma was able to leave the NICU in a month, while some think that is a LONG time to parents of NICU babies that is a short stay. A family at the RMH while we were there had a baby with CDH and when they were leaving their little boy had been there 11 weeks makes our 4 weeks seem like nothing. It was an amazing feeling to see the LARGE UVA NICU family that we now belong to. While it isn't the route I would want for anyone, they are an amazing and loving group of people who love to see the progress that all the babies make.
