No More Oxygen!!!

She's off! She's off!

Her doctor called this morning and said the last oxygen saturation test we did on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning looked fantastic and that she no longer needs the oxygen. Woo hoo! We took the tube off this morning and did a little dance as we threw it in the garbage. It's nice to see Lily's face without something stuck to it.

I think Lily is pretty happy to say goodbye to the oxygen too!

She's Just Too Cute!

Lily is just about the cutest baby I've ever seen. True, I'm biased, but after looking at these pictures you're bound to agree with me!

Cruising Around the Springs

A couple weeks ago Lily's Uncle Dwain and Aunt Jennifer came to visit her. We all had a great time playing with Lily and taking her out on the town. Here are some pics...









Uncle Dwain and Aunt Jen were really excited to meet Lily. She was pretty excited to meet them, too. She even made a special surprise in her diaper to celebrate their arrival.

Lily got an honorary seat on "Russel."













Aunt Jen played lots with Lily and even changed a diaper or two. She was also very attentive to Skippyjon who was feeling a little jealous.




Here we are out and about at the Garden of the Gods.

This happened to be Mother's Day weekend. For my first Mother's Day, Koichi gave me some beautiful ivory roses and gourmet chocolates. Later that night we all went to dinner at Buca di Beppo's and enjoyed some very tasty Italian cuisine.

I got these glasses for Lily's next big weekend outing when she finally gets to meet her grandparents, Grammy and Pa Pa. She sure is stylin'!

2007 Year of the Baby

This year in the Chinese zodiac is the year of the pig, but this is not just any little porker. It's the year of the red pig, which I think means it's the year of the BBQ! Pass the ribs and sauce please!

Well, in my family, this happens to be the year of the baby. Koichi and I were blessed to have Lily on April 1, my younger brother and his wife are expecting their first-born in August, and now my older brother and his wife have been selected to adopt a little boy as well. It's our own little baby boom!




I think my mom and dad are probably estatic to become grandparents three times around this year. I'm pretty excited to have a little niece and nephew to play with, and cousins for Lily to grow up with. So far, the year of the pulled pork and burnt ends is turning out to be a pretty good year.
