Really happy about watching a movie up close



Reading a card from the Smith kids



Just a little kiss

Shocked about something

Still not going to smile

You have no idea how happy I was to see those pictures! She looks great. It's wonderful to see that Anara smile again. Vi cracks me up - I know that costumes and masks freak her out. I bet Anara's costume really made her upset. I'm glad that things are progressing, but also that they are keeping you there until things really are ready for you to go home. Love ya and miss ya lots!

Adorable! Love the costumes! I'm glad everything will be in order before you leave the hospital, and thrilled that she's progressing so well.

I'm glad to see the pictures with teh blankets. I was so cold just looking at her without them.

Save the dress. Anara will probably love it. Vi reminds me of Claire. Mature for her age and not so into dramatic play and princesses. Anne, on the other hand, dresses up any chance she's given! :)

Love the pictures! So happy to see Anara smiling. Sophia came up and said "Look baby Danara!" I have no idea why she puts a "d" in front of it. :) We were at Methodist yesterday and were going to ride the people mover over quick to visit, but it was down. I was bummed. I am going to need some words of strength as Simeon is going to have surgery in a couple of weeks (Not near as major, but I'm scared to death) Hope to see you guys soon, so sophie can "give baby danara a kiss mama"
