Babysitting

We were so happy to be able to finally see our newest grandchild a few times the past 10 days. Last Sunday we stopped by the NICU on our way to Pasadena, so that we could see Emily again. We didn't know at the time that it would be the last time that we can see her, maybe until she gets to come home to her family. She was sleeping the whole time we were there, so we didn't want to wake her. She is still so tiny, but is obviously growing and we praise God for the progress that she continues to make.

Next,  we were on our way to Chuck and Penny's house where we spent time with "big sister" K. She certainly is grandpa's sweetheart! Marilyn actually spent Friday thru Monday taking care of K so that Bec would have more time at the hospital and also for some needed rest.  Her co-workers were willing to help with the schedule so that she also took Monday off to be with Bec and K.

And such a fun time grandma and K had! Exploring the outdoors...

reading books...

(Look at those cute little curls!)

the little pianist

even reading music???

K loves cell phones! Actually, anything that has a button to push is quite fastinating for her. After each hospital visit, she loved "helping" her mommy send out texts to update friends and family members so that they were informed of the latest developments in her little sister's condition. We were blessed with very nice (but cool) weather this past weekend, so were able to take walks around the neighborhood.
We are so grateful for all the help we received from Chuck and Penny. Thanks for your hospitality and care! We appreciate you more than words can ever begin to express.
