Baby Beach Day!

 Nash wasn't home very long when we decided we needed to get out to the beach.

We spent the day in Newport with GoGo, Pa and Uncle Tyler and had such a fun day!

Lincoln of course, loving the water.

First trip to the beach

First Bath and First day of School

 Nash came home on Aug. 6th, and on Wednesday Aug 8th Tatum had her first day of second grade!

 Everyone had to help with the bath.

 Our big second grader

We are so proud of our big girl. She is a sweet, smart girl and a good friend. 

We know this is going to be a great year!

 Not everyone was so thrilled with the first day of school.

Nash comes HOME!

 Nash finally had all the tubes removed and I think he heard us talking about coming home in his sleep. I love that little smirk.

Loading up in the van, one month old and he gets to feel the warm sunlight.

After a month of sleepless nights and lots of tears our little man made it home!!!

 It was a super surreal moment, I remember starting the morning off depressed because we had hit the one month mark and there wasn't much talk of him coming home. The day before he had all the tubes removed and we were just praying that he would start eating enough on his own to bring him home. 

At noon our NICU nurse really pushed for our discharge and by 4 pm we were home.

We came home to the posters made by the kids and lots of excitement.

 They couldn't get enough of him.

 They were in awe.

 I finally felt like I could breathe.

 Those first couple days were so special, I would catch Saylor just watching him sleep.

 It was the best feeling in the world to hold him cord free, and just let him snuggle and sleep.
