Together at Last

Alyssa's home! Ryan's parents flew in last Thursday and brought our baby girl back to Mississippi. I love it when she says "Drew" in her cute little 18 month old voice. She's given Drew lots of love and kisses, but the older sibling torture has already begun...she thinks it's lots of fun to steal his binky. Sometimes she'll actually give it back, but more frequently holds on to it for herself.

Drew's still doing well. His stitches are out and the last of the blood has been drawn for tests - the most recent was for a platelet aggregation test that needed 3 adult-sized vials of blood. The poor guy looked like he needed a transfusion after that one! His weight is still a bit of an issue, but we've reminded ourselves that he's only been nursing for 2 weeks, thus he's still new at this eating thing. Hopefully he'll start packing on some weight soon or Ryan's dreams of producing an Aggie Linebacker will never be realized. Of course, if Ryan really wanted an Aggie linebacker, he probably wouldn't have married me :)

We have so much to give Thanks for this year. Having our little family together is at the top of the list, but we also give Thanks to our extended families and friends for your incredible love and support. Happy Thanksgiving!
