Ryann is Home!!!
An Update from the Hines Family: Ryann Morgan is finally home!Devon and I spent Saturday night at the hospital with Ryann in our room. The nurses checked on us but we were 'on our own' with her to figure out what she would need in 24 hours and what her schedule is like. We got discharged Sunday afternoon. Ryann came home with a monitor as well as an oxygen tank. Hopefully she will only have to be hooked up to the machines for a few weeks. She is doing great! We gave her a bath, we have got to hold her and take naps with her and she is eating very well at home. We have also been changing lots of diapers! We love having her home!
Some of you have asked how big Ryann is so we got some photos of her next to Ashlynn's cabbage patch kid and holding a quarter in her hand. Ryann is now 5 pounds 3 ounces so you can find a 5 pound bag of sugar and that is how much she weighs and her head is about the size of an orange.
We see the pediatrician tomorrow and will find out what the next few weeks of Ryann's life look like. She will be 4 weeks old on Thursday and we can hardly believe it!
THANK YOU for all of your prayers!
Devon, Natalie & Ryann

Ryann Update
This is the latest update from my sister, Natalie.
We went to see Ryann last night and she didn't have her feeding tube! She is on an "ad-lib" schedule which means that she eats when she is hungry. She is doing great and taking all her feeding from a bottle. She got weighed and measured and she is now 16 1/2 inches long and has passed her birth weight and now weighs 4 lbs. 15.6 oz. Butch and Susie are on their way up to bring me diapers and meet Ryann today. The nurses asked us to bring in her car seat so she can do her car seat test (sit in in for one hour without cutting off her own airway) and they are also talking about sending her home with oxygen and a monitor since that is all that is keeping her in the nursery. Hopefully she will be home soon! We can't wait!

Oliver vs. The Independent Newspaper
Apparently Oliver doesn't agree with Pleasanton's proposed Parcel Tax, nor does he buy into the programs they will support! See Video Below.

A Valentine for the Little One
This morning I told Oliver that he has another new cousin! He got right to work, scissors and all, and then he asked me to take this picture. Happy Valentine's Day, especially to the newest member of the family, Ryann Morgan Hines! Sidenote from Oliver - Ladies, I am still on the market, so don't everyone show up at once. Who doesn't love a romantic?
"Lil' Valentine" Hines is Here!
My niece, Ryann Morgan Hines, arrived 8 and 1/2 weeks early...so far so good! Please pray for her! My sister, Natalie, is doing well. She is 4lbs. 15oz. and ready to take on the world! Well...maybe not quite yet, but she will get there! P.S. Some people have alluded to the fact that these pictures are disturbing. Well, this is reality folks! The girl came a bit early, and she is beautiful! Don't let the tubes and wires fool ya!
Best. Valentine's. Day. Card. Ever.
When it comes to making Valentine's Day Cards, my wife takes the cake...er...brownies.

This is a big step for "Captain Capo."

Mine arrived today!

Happy Thanksgiving from Placencia, Belize!
Greetings from Placencia, Belize! Melissa and I just made reservations at Wendy's Creole Restaurant for a big Thanksgiving meal tonight! There are several restaurants cooking turkey tonight, so we just had to narrow down the choices. Placencia is wonderful. It has the worlds narrowest main street, a 3 foot wide sidewalk that runs through the middle of town...really charming. We're headed to sit on the beach today near our favorite new spot, The Barefoot Beach Bar and Grill. We are doing well, enjoying perfect weather, and savoring these last days of vacation as a couple...once the child gets here it will be a whole new ballgame! Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Belize Update
Just a quick update...the Belize trip is going great...lots of power-packed dentistry...not much down-time...we are headed on a jungle adventure tomorrow AM - our first "day off" if you will. This place is awesome...we are in the most laid back village in all of Belize - a very nice change of pace. We are safe and well. The food is great. I need to go kill a cockroach that is in our dental assistants hotel room...gotta run!

You better BELIZE it!!!
Well...we are headed out to Belize tonight on a red-eye flight. Our bags are packed, we're ready to go...we're leaving on a jet plane, and in this particular case we do happen to know when we will be back again (November 26th).
Please pray for us in the following ways:
1. Pray for good health (especially for Melissa as she is pregnant), traveling mercies, and overall safety.
2. Pray that our interaction with the Walkabout Kids will be fruitful.
3. Pray that we would be an encouragement to the staff of Da Wata Fountain.
4. Pray that God will draw Melissa and I near to one another and nearer to Him over the trip.
After we finish our week with the Walkabout kids we are headed to Placencia for 5 nights. We will be hanging out HERE. Thanksgiving on the beach! Sounds good to us!
To our families: WE WILL MISS YOU DURING THANKSGIVING...CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AT CHRISTMAS!
