So today we went to Evergreen Hospital where they hold an annual picnic for the NICU graduates. They have lots of food, face painting, prizes, and all kinds of other activites. It's so much fun to see the nurses and Doctors who took care of our little Kyleigh, and they love to see how much she has grown. The staff becomes your family while you are there, and this is a great way to see them again and catch up. We had a lot of fun, and can't wait until next year.
Linda, she ALWAYS made us laugh, which is important when things are going rough. It was nice to have someone change the mood a bit.
Tonya always called Kyleigh, "Kyleigh bug," and sure enough as soon as she saw us she said, "hi Kyleigh bug." It's great to know that as many children they see, they still remember us.
Evie was our evening primary nurse, and we got to love Evie so much. She kept Kyleigh company late at night when we weren't there. The night before we brought Kyleigh home, I had to spend the night, and we stayed up all night laughing, and talking. I really should have slept, but we had so much fun. We are so glad we got to see her this year. We loved ALL our nurses, and are so thankful for them. 
Kyleigh in the fire truck!

That is great. That is wonderful that they remember you, they see alot of babies, your family sure is a special one!
What an amazing miracle Kyleigh is. Those doctors and nurses really are angels. That's great that they have an annual picnic and you can keep in touch with them!
Fun! That's cool that they all remember you and Kyleigh and that they can see how big she is getting! Did you win anything cool this year?
Well, we won something, and Kyleigh picked it out. She chose some binoculars, but they are 18months+. They light up and make bug noises. I said, are you sure you don't want this barbie, or this snow white, but no, she chose the baby toy!
