update

I was so excited to see a comment from Benjamin and Levi's favorite NICU nurse, H on my last post. She moved to NH and we have lost contact. It is amazing to hear from her and read her blog. I cannot convey how much the special nurses (especially H) helped us through those 73 days. They became part of the family, and know far more about us and the situation, wow is all I can say. H used to let Levi take my milk to the freezer. He always loved to see her and we even visited her after Benjamin was out of the hospital.
On with new news...
We are dog sitting for Keri and family--they have a boy golden retriever puppy. It has been a long time since we had a puppy, and my kiddos have never had a puppy so they are really not used to the running, licking, and puppy biting and Benjamin is just about done with it. He says "no, Shaggy" very well and "stop it, Shaggy" is good too. Shaggy is a good dog and has not done anything wrong nor has he hurt the boys. Levi has become Sadie's (our dog) protector. Sadie is a girl Shaggy is like a teenaged boy. Sadie wants NO PART of that and lets Shaggy know, but boys will be boys and you can hardly blame Shaggy for trying-Sadie is a pretty good girl. Levi just keeps telling Shaggy "no, leave Sadie's butt alone-it's hers not yours". Sadie is so laid back and gentle, so not a puppy (she's 8). It is fun to have Shaggy, it is just different to have a puppy and a boy dog. Shaggy is so pretty...
We went peach, blackberry, and blueberry picking on Saturday. All are really late this year because of all the rain. I have a lot of peaches to put up, the blackberries and blueberries are already done. I have a lot of requests for pie, yes dad you will get a peach pie...
