His Sacred Name - An Easter Declaration



I know this is a little late, but I loved this video for its message and beautiful music. Simple and to the point, we are reminded why we really celebrate Easter. I love our Savior and know that He lives. Happy Easter from the Gibbys.

NICU Reunion



I had to start this post with the sign we saw close to where we parked. It's too funny. We were going to TalĂ­a's NICU reunion. There were so many Moms with multiples there. We even saw the couple that had a show on TLC about their their sextuplets. No, it wasn't the Gosselins. Thank goodness. This couple lives in the Austin area. I liked watching the show since they showed so much footage of the NICU in Austin. Tali went right up to all her kids and sat with them. She certainly isn't shy:)

There was a clown at the NICU reunion that was sculpting balloons. Too Funny. I loved the alien.


There was an incubator there with a pediatric ambulance. It was fun to see just how much she's grown. I remember when she was so tiny in there. There was room to spare. Wish I thought of taking a photo of her next to it, but you get the idea.
Here's a photo of Tali with her NICU doctor. She didn't mind him holding her at all. He jokingly walked off with her, and she didn't cry at all. Don't know what that's saying about my parenting:) I'm thinking wait a minute, give her back:)


I saw just one nurse that I remember. She was so sweet and was excited to see Tali. Before we left we did see one of her doctors. He was my favorite, so I'm glad he was there. The other two that were assigned to Tali weren't as personable and rarely talked with me when I went to be with Tali.

Marcus wasn't there since he was at a chess tournament. He did well and tied for third place. He is in a higher division now, so he's playing a much tougher group. He's wants to learn the Italian chess openings. Not sure what that is, but he wants to learn it since so many chess players aren't familiar with it. Pretty good strategy.

Scott and the kids are at a ward Easter Egg Hunt this morning. Shocking, I know. If you know Scott, you'd know he hates ward activities. He was in charge of the cake walk, so he has to be there:) I kept Tali home with me. I figure she would just get trampled by all the bigger kids. She's so small. My goal is to get her over 20 pounds one day. It hasn't happened yet. She's a very picky eater. I can't believe she's going to be in nursery May 8th.

Here's some more Tali photos. Here hair is growing so much. I tried, emphasis on tried, to cut her bangs. Very nerve racking. They're crooked, but at least most of the hair is out of her eyes.
