Porters, Shopping, Tube, Nurses

I am no longer cameraless!!! So here we go!

PORTERS:
We hung out with our pals the Porters and Amy and I took the kids to their house while Kory and Mark worked on hanging some blinds at our house. Here are all the kids loaded up. Mallory, Kanyon, and Blake
Blake was cracking Kanyon up. He was pretty interested in Kan's boots.
Dangerous Duo
Mallory decided to join the boys for a picture...Kanyon is looking a little droopy, but he was very happy to be with them!
I just love this pic of Blakey boy
When we left the Porters it was late and we were sleepy, so Kanyon drove us home.

Sundays are hard for our little night owl. He doesn't get to go back to sleep after he eats so he's a little tired. But, he's too interested in all the action at church to go back to sleep. Here he is catching a cat nap while walking in. I just thought he looked so sweet.
If he's eating his tube, don't you think he's ready to be done with it??!!
SHOPPING:
My mom came in to town last week so we did some shopping for Julie's wedding that is coming up!!! K man was a trooper. All he needed was the cool AC and his socks to eat.

Shop til your socks drop


TUBE:
While my mom was here, she watched Kanyon so I could go to Kory's softball game. He ate great for her, but he puked up his tube! It had been so long since he'd used it that we decided to take that thing all the way off!!!!! So, here is the ceremonial removal of the tape! We hope this is FOR GOOD (that will be determined when we meet back up with our therapist next week).
I think he puked it out on purpose...look how pleased he is with the situation.
Here he is with the adhesive remover wipes. They make it nice and pain free!
Removal is happening....
TUBE FREE TAPE FREE!!!!
And....in the trash it goes!!! (we have more just in case, but hopefully they're not needed).

Kory took Kanyon out into the rain....
NURSES:
Those of you who have read from the beginning will recognize these faces! We took Kanyon up to the NICU to visit his old friends. Here he is with Tracey, Lois, Melissa, Peggy, and Jody! We were so happy to see them. We're going to have to go back up there another day and a night so that we can catch the other shifts.


These amazing ladies are now taking care of a special friend of ours. Some new friends of ours were moving to Longview in the next month and ended up having a little 27 weeker while they were here bringing a load of their stuff. She is a tiny little one coming in at 1 lb. 11 oz. but has been stable since her birth late Friday night. We are thankful to know this family, but our hearts are heavy for them as they start something that is so tough. Please keep them in your prayers. Kanyon has already whispered some micro preemie secrets to her through the window, so we're hoping he's going to help her get out of there QUICK! I know my blog readers are really good at praying for tiny babies, so please take this family on. You know what to pray for: lungs, tummy, brain, heart, infection free, and strength in every way for that family.

Jaymie and Kory,
Thank you so very much for taking care of our friends. It means so much to us (and the Briscoes) that you have taken the time to be there for them and get them in touch with others from the church. They will be blessed to have your friendship in Longview. We look forward to seeing you soon.
