The Precious Nugget






Day 1:  Daddy feeding his son for mommy


Meeting Uncle Ryan!  
Giving him "the clench"
Look how tiny!  
Things you should never see on your baby
Warrior Prince
Shadden's half moon warrior mark from the forcep wound 
& IV uni-horn
More NICU war wounds...
GG & Daddy smother some love
Note the hands and facial expressions!  
Sweet Dumpling's baby paws
In Papa's hands
Daddy's embrace
Uncle Ryan's head pets
Daddy's arms
Whatcha' doing Sha?

Uncles
Sooo wittle!
Got my Nanny
Back again!?!?!!




Always kicking!  

Our first Easter was spent in the hospital
But somehow...the Bunny still found us!

Doesn't get much sweeter,,,,,He's got spirit, spunk and God's blessings as well as a very courageous Mommy, who I might add is also a fighter to go through all she has and still smile that beautiful smile. Nana
