Terri Comes to Play and....SURPRISE! Hello, Colorado

We finally got a visit from aunt Terri. She has been super daughter, hanging out with papa and taking care of him, so she got to meet Caleb at the same age she got to meet Luke, which is kind of neat. The week was filled with hiking Ensign Peak (which Luke walked pretty much the whole hike, are you surprised?), yummy food, a ward/neighborhood carnival, long overdue Thai food, scrapbooking for Caleb's baby book (which, I may or may not be behind on already...), Terri's first visit to Park City, and just fun times with aunt Terri.

Hiking away!

 

Thai food at Sawadee

This pretty much sums up how dining out with us goes these days

She brought a firehat for Luke from Texas

 While she was here, Caleb had his first St. Marks NICU reunion. The theme was Dr. Suess with the quote, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" Although the time in the NICU was rough, we were extremely blessed with amazing nurses, doctors and hospital staff whom we adore.

she even went to Caleb's NICU reunion while I had to work. This is Dr Robin Smith, Caleb's main Dr in the NICU

Luke got to sit in the Rescue copter

Our favorite NICU receptionist, Babs

One of our favorite NICU nurses, Theresa. She made late nights with Caleb amazing and was so excited to talk to us about Down Syndrome. Seriously, love her.

We read A LOT of books over here

 With my sweet papa's health not being so great, we decided to take a last minute, very quick trip down to Colorado so that he could meet Caleb and we could visit with him. The drive went EXTREMELY well. Luke just entertained himself in the back, Caleb mostly slept, and we picked up Lexi from Evans on the way down. We left Saturday afternoon, got in around 2AM, spent some time with grandma Lucy, played with papa, Bev and Terri, then came back Monday evening. Like I said, it was very quick, but worth every single second.

Pit stop at Wendy's

Luke was such a trooper the WHOLE 10 hour drive

Exciting bunch at Papa's. Although, this is the first time, EVER Luke has fallen asleep watching a movie. Pretty monumental

Katy even stopped by to say hello. Oh how we love her

The best memories are on the porch

Grandma's apple pie, front porch happenings, and gorgeous weather. Life is good.
