Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

Welcome to the Jungle!



Saturday Dupont Hospital hosted a very fun jungle themed event. They had crafts, snacks, movies, bands, and Mark's Ark. Mark's Ark is a guy who comes and brings exotic animals. We saw snakes, turtles, guinea pigs, trantulas, and much more. There were some brave little kids there willing to hold anything! We showed up around 10:00 for the nicu reunion.

Brian was such a proud daddy. He wanted to carry her around instead of having her ride in her stroller. I think he just loved having his little girlie girl in his arms and getting all those compliments about how cute she was!


We headed home for lunch and for the afternoon. Stella woke up with horrible diaper rash Saturday morning, so she had a lot of naked time Saturday. She didn't seem to mind one bit :)

That evening we got ready and headed back over to the hospital. We ate out at Bandido's and then enjoyed some live music as we listened to some bands perform. They also had a big screen up for the viewing of the movie Jumanji. People were gathering everywhere in their PJ's with bags of popcorn. Stella was great all evening and even way past her bedtime.

She was full of smiles and enjoyed the music and just rolling around on the blanket. We headed home around 9:00 and Stella was out almost before we even got out of the parking lot! What a great family day!

I just love her smile, she is going to have a contagious smile just like you! Don't you love your husband even more now that he's a daddy? I didn't think that it was possible to love Jeff more, but seeing him with the girls did just that!
