Brynn's Bath!














01.14.08
On Saturday Mama and Papa got to give Brynn a bath for the first time! She didn't even make a fuss, so it was a lot of fun. Papa even washed her hair. And Mama brushed it, so she looked all pretty! It's difficult to maneuver while she's in her incubator, but hopefully that won't be for too much longer.

She is gaining weight now and still eating very well. Yesterday they took her off her bili blanket that she had been on for her jaundice. We will wait to find out what her bilirubin was at today to see if she would have to go back on it. Hopefully she will be good to go without it though. It is so much nicer holding her without it on. And it was hard to see her with those "sunglasses" that she had to wear.

Seeing all the other babies that are in the NICU, it just makes us so grateful that Brynn is doing so well. God has really given us such a blessing, and we couldn't ask for anything better. She is absolutely a sweetheart. Thank you for everyone's thoughts and love! And thank you to all of those who are praying for Brynn. We appreciate it so much!

Auntie misses you, Brynn! Please let me know what they said about her bili levels - that is so great she's off the light. Love you.

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
