THEN... June 2007
Annie Miller, our Occupational Therapist (fabulous!!); Tony; Lori, the Parent Support Coordinator (I now volunteer w/her on Tuesday nights) w/Rebecca; and Me w/Mary-Gail
Me, Mary-Gail, Emily (one of our favorite NICU nurses) w/Rebecca,
and Pam (our other favorite NICU nurse)
Can you believe my girls were "chunky" (relatively speaking)

NOW... May 16, 2009
One of the NICU nurses, Trudy, commented that my girl's smile just
like me - they show all of their teeth. Too bad neither of the girls are smiling in this pic.
I remember telling our Pediatrician to put a feeding tube back in Mary-Gail. The child just wouldn't eat! Now, she shovels the food into her mouth (some of the time)
Pam - our most wonderful NICU nurse!!
(Emily moved to DC in 2007 and is a NICU @ a hospital there)
Rebecca & Mary-Gail's first snow cones + Daddy
Rebecca's lollipop had a red dot on the bottom of the stick... so
she won an inflatable ball
Mary-Gail's lollipop didn't have a dot, but she didn't care - she just
wanted her sucker: "Miguel's sucker!"
Mary-Gail jumping in puddles. The child is drawn to anything that will get her dirty!
Lori always does a fabulous job at decorating and ensuring games, food, and adventures are available for everyone at any ability level. I was able to help set up some of the decorations last year (it was an outdoor/camping theme - so cute!) and this year I helped set up again. I really enjoy spending my Tuesday nights (when I can & when Tony comes home from Bishopric meeting @ a reasonable hour) volunteering w/Lori. There is something about continuing the connection with the NICU & encouraging other parents (especially parents of twins!).

Brings back a flood of memories for me looking at this post. Wish I could have been there. I miss volunteering with you guys!! You're girls are adorable! You have such a contagious smile, so thanks for smiling! Hopefully you remember who I am. I used to volunteer with Lori as well. Thanks for giving me input on my bed rest situation. You're awesome!
What an exciting reunion! You are such a great mom and doing such a wonderful job with your beautiful girls. You are looking so HOT!
I was bummed we couldn't make it this year, hope to see you there next year! :)
We loved Annie! And Lori is so awesome!
