Emma's High School Graduation; Maverick's NICU Graduation

Emma is now a high school graduate! She will be attending BYU in the fall. That is exciting! We will get to see her more often when she is living in the same state as us.






Ben and Haley's little baby was getting ready to graduate from the NICU. 


Their preference was for him to go home with no feeding tube and no oxygen.
Maverick was able to get the feeding tube removed, but not the oxygen tube. He had to pass the car seat test where he stayed in it for a certain length of time. 
The big day had arrived. Ben and Haley were able to bring him home--oxygen monitor, tubing, tank and all. 

He got released on Sunday. We had invited Rebecca's, Sarah's and Ben's families over for dinner that day. Ben dropped Kade and Levi off to us so he could go to the hospital. 

Haley had spent the night in the hospital with their baby--proving herself capable of caring for her preemie??

It was a sweet moment when they brought in the newest member of their family and introduced him to his big brothers. 






Since Caroline considers the boys her babies, it was a thrill for her to hold her newest baby.
Kade's face says it all about how he feels to have his baby brother home.
There is yet another new addition to Ben's family. He and Haley are now the proud owners of a minivan--the only way to transport three or more children in car seats.
