We Made It?



The Family with our Event Shirts On!

Our first weekend away with my new little sister went alright.  My dad thought it was gonna be a relaxing time, boy was he wrong.  My folks were worried about Maggie cryin all night, but she actually did all right - as long as my mom kept her happy.  I, on the other hand, was having soo much fun being away from home I didn't want to sleep at all.  In fact, I cried till 2am the first night and till midnight the second night... hehheehe.  Anywho, the Little Miracles 5K and Family Fest was a HUGE success.  I overheard my mom talking with some of her friends - they had 89 runners and over 100 walkers!  And, I don't wanna brag, but my team "Conner and Kaylee's Crew" came in second place for fundraising - we raised over 1,000 bucks...... a big thanks goes out to all of you who helped us do so well!  To top it off, I got to chill with Grandpa for awhile. Then, to make the day even more fun, when we got back to the hotel my mom and dad took me swimming!  Boy do I love the water these days. 


I was soo tired afterwards I actually fell asleep on my side (my mom was pretty excited because I have never slept on my side before - so of course she had to take a picture).


I guess Maggie was tired too!
I was spent!












Then on Sunday we had the NICU reunion.  It sure was nice to see all my ol' NICU pals.  Everyone is getting so big, and looking so good, and moving around so well.  I may not be moving around just yet, but one of these years I'll show them all I can do it too.  Like my mom says, I am just on my own time frame.  So, all and all we made it through the weekend.  My dad got a cold on Sunday, which I later got from him on Tuesday.  My mom tried her hardest to keep us all from getting sick - she quarantined my dad to their bedroom.  Once I got sick she made me and Grandma hang out in my room all day.  And so far her and Maggie have avoided our colds, so she must be onto something.  It was really nice hanging out with Grandma this week - she is helping my mom since things are kinda crazy around here.  Guess my new sis is quite the attention hog.
