Milestones, Excitement and Plugs

Ok. There's just plain ol' LOTS of stuff happening around here. Lots. And there's a little bit of everything. So here's it all in a nutshell.

For the kiddos...
The awesome twosome will be starting the preschool room full time on Friday. Yikes! But yay!!! I will update more next week about the official transition over. :)

Also starting next week, Payton will be wearing big girly underwear all day long. Another yay!!! More to come on that too. Fingers crossed the transition to a new room and another big change won't cause any problems.

For the mama...
Life After NICU is a great place that helps support parents after their time spent in the NICU. They have honored the Quiet Light Foundation with choosing us as the Give Back group for January. Thrilled!!! Check it out here (and yes the pictures used in the little article are all really us) - Give Back

Up and Coming...
I won't gush about my love of Respite Care at the moment (I've done it enough and there's more coming soon). But, they have some really neat events coming up that support the center and are open for anyone. Check them out and go!
